WI vs AUS preview

West Indies arrive into the three-match ODI series against Australia on the back of a dominating 4-1 T20I series victory against them. Alex Carey will lead Australia in the ODI series after full-time skipper Aaron Finch has been sidelined due to a knee injury. Carey is set to become the 26th Australian captain in the ODI format.

Since 2000, the two sides have squared off against each other on 48 occasions in ODIs, with Australia leading the head-to-head record with 37 wins (3D, 8L). However, West Indies will arrive into this series exuding with confidence after playing some excellent cricket against Sri Lanka earlier this year. While the Men in Maroon won all three games while chasing the target, the coach of West Indies, Phil Simmons, is confident that they can achieve success even while batting first. Moreover, the recent T20I series victory was West Indies' first bilateral success against Australia in any format since 1995 when they won an ODI series.
