West Indies vs Australia: Who will win the Final?
West Indies defeated South Africa on Friday and have advanced to the final where they will face Australia.

This is going to be a battle of nerves and the team that keeps a cool head above its shoulders will emerge victorious. The final match of this tri-nation series is scheduled to begin at 1 PM local time.
Read on for our betting tips and match prediction on West Indies vs Australia Tri-Nation series 2016 Final Match...
Venue and Toss
The pitch at the Kensington Oval has been good for batting lately as can be seen from the last couple of games. Fast bowlers, however, should be able to extract more out of this wicket than the spinners. 290-300 should be a par score here in the first innings.
Majority of the recently played ODIs at this ground have been won by the team that has batted second. Also, keeping the dew in mind, the toss-winning captain might prefer putting the opposition into bat first.
Australia, in this series, have always went on to win the match after winning the toss. So their chances of winning the final on Sunday will get a big boost if they win the toss.
West Indies Team News & Playing 11
If WI Bat First
Predicted score: Around 275
Opening batsmen Charles and Fletcher will have to raise their game and set up a good platform for their team. The pair failed against Australia last time and they will be required to perform on Sunday if the hosts are to put up a challenging total. Samuels and Ramdin will look to keep the scoreboard ticking in the middle overs, and if the Windies have wickets in hand, Pollard can launch the attack in the final overs to take the score to around 275.
Starc and Hazlewood could open the bowling for Australia. The former has been very impressive in this series and he will be backed to break the hosts’ opening partnership. Scoring runs off Faulkner in the death overs won't be easy for the Windies and Zampa is also expected to create a few problems for the batsmen with his leg-breaks. If two or three wickets fall quickly, West Indies might struggle to get close to the predicted total.
Australia Team News & Playing 11
If AUS Bat First
Predicted score: Around 285
Openers Khawaja and Finch will have to stitch a good partnership between them to take some pressure off of Smith and Bailey. Skipper Smith ranks among the top three batsmen and he is likely to make the most runs for Australia on Sunday. Marsh and Maxwell both had a good outing in their last game, and if Australia produce two big innings at the top, they should take the team's total to around 285.
Holder, Gabriel and Brathwaite will be leading the pace attack for the West Indies. Brathwaite has taken six wickets in the series and he is expected to be the most successful of the three bowlers. Narine will look to spin the web for his team once again and the off-spinner is going to be Australia's biggest hurdle. He is leading the wickets column for the West Indies, and if Sunday's his day, Australia's hopes of reaching the predicted score could well be dashed.
Our Prediction
West Indies have only three wins in their last seven games at the Kensington Oval, a stat which doesn't look great for a home ground. Australia, on the other hand, have won all their last three completed games here which includes their recent victory over the hosts on Tuesday. The Windies were rated as underdogs at the start of this series, but they have performed well above the expectation levels. Who knows, they might even stun the Aussies in the final if Samuels and Narine shine on Sunday.
Although both teams have looked equally strong in this series, we're predicting Australia to win the final of this tri-nation series.
