Our Prediction

Australia are favourites to win

West Indies will be up against Australia, the No. 1 ranked ODI team, in the 2nd match of the ongoing tri-series at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. The match will be played on June 5 and live action is scheduled to commence at 1 PM local time. The last time Australia visited the Caribbean, West Indies managed to draw the ODI series 2-2, and it will be interesting to see how the hosts fare against the formidable Australian force this time around.    

Read on for our betting tips and match prediction on West Indies vs Australia Tri-series 2016 2nd Match....

Venue and Toss

The average score in the first innings at the Providence Stadium is around 250, and most of the times, it has been sufficient for a win. Moreover, Sunday's pitch is expected to be on the slower side and should bring the spinners into play. Since runs might not be that easy to score, 250 should be a competitive total here in the first innings.
Of the 13 ODIs that have been played on this ground, the team that has batted first has won on 9 occasions. Also, there could be low bounce off the pitch in the latter half of the match. So whoever wins the toss here is likely to bat first.

If Australia win the toss, they will have an early advantage and West Indies will have to play above their potential to win the match.

If WI Bat First

Predicted score: 225 and above

Andre Fletcher and Johnson Charles will be expected to provide a steady start to the innings. If the two can give West Indies an opening stand of 50 runs or more, a little pressure will be taken off of Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels. They have fine finishers in Denesh Ramdin and Jonathan Carter who can later capitalize on the good start and take their team's score to around 230-240.

Australia could open their bowling with Mitchell Starc and James Faulkner. The former returns after a long break due to a foot injury and the Aussies will back this pair to pick up early wickets. Nathan Coulter-Nile is another fast bowler the hosts will be wary of. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa should be effective on this kind of a wicket and he could slow down the pace of the West Indian innings. Australia have a sharp bowling attack and if they take wickets early on, the Windies might struggle to reach 225.

If AUS Bat First

Predicted score: 240 and above

After leading Sunrisers Hyderabad to victory in the IPL, David Warner could have either Usman Khawaja or Aaron Finch as his opening partner. Finch, however, is more likely to open after his good performance in the IPL. George Bailey and skipper Steven Smith will add stability to the middle-order. Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Wade will look to give an explosive finish to the innings. If Warner, Bailey and Smith bat well, Australia will be looking at a score beyond 240.

Skipper Jason Holder and Jerome Taylor could start off with the new ball for the Windies. Off-spinner Sunil Narine is currently the top ODI bowler and he will be the one the Australian batsmen will look out for. Carlos Brathwaite, their World T20 hero, could be given a game and he will look to stifle the batsmen in the middle overs. If West Indies get rid of Warner, Finch and Bailey within the first fifteen overs, Australia might have to settle for something less than 240.

Our Prediction

West Indies are a dangerous unit when it comes to limited overs cricket. The shorter the format, the more are their chances of winning. They have a lot of match-winners and allrounders in their side. Plus, they will be playing on their home turf and so will know the conditions better than Australia do. But while they are eight in the ICC ODI rankings, Australia are at the pole position and are the current world champions. Also, West Indies have many big names omitted for this series whereas Australia have come with full strength.

West Indies might be starting off as underdogs, but they cannot be written off completely. We, however, predict Australia to win this match.
