AUS vs WI 3rd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Australia and West Indies complete their three-match ODI series on Tuesday February 6th with a day-night fixture in Canberra. The series has already been secured by Australia with victories in Melbourne and Sydney, they will now look to complete a 3-0 whitewash. Read on as we preview this ODI. The game begins at the Manuka Oval at 14:30 local time.
Australia have enjoyed two comfortable victories against West Indies although they have not played anywhere near their best in the series. We expect the hosts to perform better in this final game to end the series with a 3-0 winning margin.
West Indies were in a fantastic position in the last ODI at the SCG when they had Australia at 91/5 but they were unable to run through the middle-lower order and the game went out of their grasp. They have been outplayed in the main during this series.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
There will be at least one change for the hosts ahead of this third ODI as Matthew Short has been ruled out due to a low grade hamstring injury. Ben McDermott has been called into the squad to replace the in-form batter and we expect him to get an opportunity at the Manuka Oval.
AUS Key Players
- Cameron Green- the young, tall and strong all-rounder hit another five fours and a six in his last innings. He will be keen to end the series with another big score.
- Steven Smith- the skipper has led the side well in this series and comes into this game requiring 60 runs to bring up 5500 runs across his ODI career.
- Josh Hazlewood- the 33 year old right-arm fast medium bowler is in excellent form across all formats and picked up another three wickets in the second ODI.
- Sean Abbott- the bowling all-rounder took the Player of the Match Award in Sydney after dismissing Kjorn Ottley, Keacy Carty and Roston Chase.
AUS Team Form
Australia continue to rack up the victories in this format and they arrive in Canberra targeting their 12th in a row in ODIs.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
Jake Fraser-McGurk, Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green, Steven Smith (c), Ben McDermott, Matthew Short, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Will Sutherland, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
There were two changes for West Indies ahead of the Sydney ODI with Kjorn Ottley and Alzarri Joseph coming into the team at the expense of Hayden Walsh and Kavem Hodge. We expect both of the players who came in to retain their spots for this match.
WI Key Players
- Keacy Carty- the middle order batter has undoubtedly been West Indies’ biggest positive of this series so far. His last three ODI scores are 40, 88 and 50.
- Shai Hope- the skipper hit the second highest score for his team on Sunday but overall he will be disappointed with his returns of 12 and 29 for a man of his ODI talent.
- Matthew Forde- the relative newcomer to international cricket is proving himself as a wicket taker at this level and he has dismissed Travis Head and Steve Smith so far in the series.
- Gudakesh Motie- the left-arm spinner may not get quite as much assistance in Canberra than he did in Sydney but he impressed with the wickets of Marnus Labuschagne, Aaron Hardie and Matthew Short.
WI Team Form
West Indies come into this final ODI of the series after losing three of their last four games in this format.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Alick Athanaze, Justin Greaves, Kjorn Ottley, Shai Hope (c) (wk), Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Alzarri Joseph, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Oshane Thomas

🏆 Australia vs West Indies Prediction
This has been an entertaining series but overall it has been a bit disappointing at the lack of competitiveness from West Indies. They will be hoping that some of their experienced batters and bowlers can step up and make useful contributions in Canberra. However, even if they do, we are backing Australia to get another victory to take the series 3-0.
