The Triangular series between the West Indies, Australia and South Africa has been started from 3 June 2016 in Caribbean Island. Today the 2nd ODI match of the 2016 Tri series is coming up and it will be WI vs AUS at Providence Stadium. In the first match between South Africa and west Indies, the home team showed their intentions clearly and won the very first match by 4 wickets. So in the upcoming match Australia will not take the Windies team lightly after watching their last match performance. Let’s see what our Prediction and preview says about the upcoming match WI vs AUS on June 5th 2016.
About the Team and their Strength Preview:-
Australian Team :- As we all know that Aussies are the on the top of the table in ICC ODI Team Rankings and the Current World Cup champions. No doubt they have world-class players in their squad. They have a pretty good balance with the bat and the ball. In the batting department David Warner and Aaron finch will be the opening pair for the team. Both the are in good form, specially Warner who has scored 848 runs in 17 innings in the IPL 2016 and made his team Sunrisers Hyderabad win the Title for the first time in the history. In the middle order Glenn Maxwell the destroyer and Steven Smith the captain who is known for his consistency and is a true match winner is there. George Bailey, Usman Khawaja, Travis Head will be strengthening the batting line up in the deep.
The good news for the Australia team is that Mitchell Strac is back in the squad who was away from the cricket from a long time due to the injury but now he is back. So the Bowling department will be much more efficient than ever. Mitchell Marsh, Josh Hazlewood, James Faulkner will be holding the pace attack for the team. In the spin attack, the young Adam Zampa who has impressed every one with his performance in the IPL 9 will spread the magic of his leg break deliveries. Glenn Maxwell and Steve smith can also bowl at crucial time. So the team is looking balanced in both department batting and bowling.
West Indies Team :- The Caribbean team is currently on the 8th position in the ICC ODI ranking table But these the ranking can’t predict the result of the match. In the 1st ODI match of the Tri Series WI team defeated South Africa by 4 wickets. The bowlers won the battle there, specially Sunil Narine performance of 6 wickets broke the batting order and in 46.5 over all team out and SA scored only 188 runs. First win against a big team like SA will boosted up the confidence of the WI players which will help them in the 2nd ODI against AUS.
If we look at the batting line up of the West Indies team than some young faces are there who have played few international matches but have all that talent which is to be needed to win the matches like this one. Andre Fletcher is one of the key player of the team. He was the member of World T20 2016 and impressed every one with this performance with the bat. Fletcher and Johnson Charles will be the opening pair for the team. Denesh Ramdin, Keiron Pollard, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo are some of the experienced players who will be seen in lead role in putting runs on the board.
In the bowling department the captain Jason Holder will be leading the pace attack with all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite, the man who is taller among all the members of the team Sulieman Benn, Jerome Taylor. In the spin attack Sunil Narine there who is one of the main concern of the opponent team. There is no answers from the opponent batsmen of Narine Deliveries. From the starting of his career he is very effect with the ball and was man of the match of the last game. So in the West Indies vs Australia 2nd ODI too he will be the key player of the Caribbean team.
WI vs AUS Prediction: Who will Win
