The white-ball leg of the West Indies tour of Australia is set to commence with the 1st ODI on 2nd February, 2024 at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.
The last time AUS and WI met each other in an ODI series was in 2021 when Australia visited West Indies and won the 3-match series by 2-1. West Indies have not been a strong side against Australia for a long time. Their last ODI series win against Australia came in 1995.
The Australian ODI team will be led by Steve Smith and we will see a new wave of young talent in the team. Many of the players from Big Bash League are going to debut for the Australian ODI team in this series.
On the other hand, West Indies will be led by wicket-keeper batsman Shai Hope and we can see a decent squad here with a combination of experienced and young players.
Australia and West Indies have played 143 ODIs against each other in which the former has the upper-hand with 76 wins while West Indies have won 61 times.
The upcoming 3-match ODI series will take place in Australia where the hosts have the edge with 41 wins in 80 ODIs against West Indies. West Indies have won 35 times against Australia at their home.

Alzarri Joseph will lead the West Indies pace attack. He has played 66 ODIs so far in which he has picked 108 wickets at an average of 28.28. Joseph has picked 6 wickets in 3 ODIs against Australia.
The last T20I series between AUS and WI took place in 2022 where the hosts won by 2-0. West Indies last won a T20I series against Australia in 2021 at home. West Indies is a successful team in the T20 format having won the T20 World Cup twice whereas Australia has lifted the cup just once in 2021.
The Australian T20 side will be led by Mitchell Marsh while the West Indies T20 team will be led by Rovman Powell.
West Indies have a slight upper-hand over Australia in the head to head T20 record. In 19 encounters, WI have won 10 times while AUS has managed to win 9 times only.

Mitchell Marsh (c), Sean Abbott, Jason Behrendorff, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Short, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa
Maxwell will be a key all-rounder for Australia for the upcoming T20 World Cup. All eyes will be on him and he has been in good form since the ODI World Cup 2023. Maxwell has played 100 T20Is in which he has scored 2275 runs and picked 39 wickets.
Mitchell Marsh will lead the side and he is also expected to lead the team in the T20 World Cup. Marsh has smashed 1272 runs and picked 15 wickets in 49 T20Is so far.
Nathan Ellis is cementing his place in the playing 11 for the upcoming T20 World Cup. He has been quite impressive with the ball lately. Ellis has picked 22 wickets in 12 T20Is at a strike rate of 12.55.
Josh Hazlewood will lead the pace attack in this series and he will be looking forward to performing well with the T20 World Cup in mind. Hazlewood has picked 58 wickets in 41 T20Is at a strike rate of 15.9.
Rovman Powell (c), Shai Hope, Johnson Charles, Roston Chase, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Gudakesh Motie, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Oshane Thomas
Brandon King will be a key batter at the top-order for the West Indies line-up leading to the T20 World Cup. He has scored 1092 runs in 45 T20Is at a strike rate of 131.72.
Nicholas Pooran plays T20 cricket throughout the year in various T20 leagues and he has been in top-form since last year. Pooran has scored 1811 runs in 85 T20Is at a strike rate of 134.95.
Alzarri Joseph will be the leading pacer for the West Indies team. He has picked 32 wickets in 19 T20Is at an impressive strike rate of 13.59. He will be a crucial player for the team leading to the T20 World Cup.
Akeal Hosein has picked 37 wickets in 44 T20I and he has a good experience of playing in Australia due to his BBL participation. He will be an important spin bowler for this side.
Australia is giving opportunities to the young talent in the ODI team as a transition of the team after winning the ODI World Cup 2023. The young players have ample experience from BBL and going against the West Indies side will give them a good international exposure. Beating Australia at their home in ODIs is a difficult task and the West Indies side does not look strong enough to finish the task successfully.
In the T20I series we can see a good fight as the Caribbean players are fond of the format and it's a good combination of experienced players like Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Shai Hope along with relatively new players like Rovman Powell, Kyle Mayers, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie.
West Indies is capable of giving a tough fight to the Aussies in the T20 format. They can win one of the clashes as well but beating the current Australian T20 team will be difficult.
