Topmost Picks for AUS vs WI Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Australia

• 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.
• Sean Abbott- the bowling all-rounder took the Player of the Match Award in Sydney after dismissing Kjorn Ottley, Keacy Carty and Roston Chase.

Top Picks – West Indies

• 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.
• 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.

We expect Australia to win this match. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.
