West Indies vs Australia 2nd ODI Match Prediction Often a change within the format brings good luck to the team. Well, the old saying rang true for Australia as they put behind their horror show within the five-match T20I series against West Indies and began with a bang within the first ODI by winning the match by 133 runs during a rain-curtailed game of 49 overs each.

Alex Carey got off to a dream start on his captaincy debut and took the extra responsibility of anchoring the innings too by top-scoring for the team with patient 67 runs and helped Australia post a competitive score of 252 on the board. West Indies who are referred to as good chasers, floundered during the run-chase as Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood blew the house side to smithereens and bundled them to only 123.

West Indies vs Australia Playing 11 key Players

Alex Carey– Australia

He paced his innings well while scoring 67 within the first ODI and was there till 44 overs. He will look to continue with an equivalent momentum and help Australia seal the series within the second game itself. With a mean of 37.35 in 43 matches, the southpaw has started his ODI career on a bright note indeed.

Mitchell Starc– Australia

Starc loves the ODI format. in only 97 ODIs, he has taken an astonishing 189 wickets at a staggering average of twenty-two .81. The left-arm pacer isn’t only lethal with the new ball but equally potent with the old ball also. Again the onus of picking early wickets for Australia will rest on Starc.

• Whilst the hosts will are hugely disappointed with their batting display, captain Kieron Pollard marking his return the side following injury with a half-century was a positive for the Windies and therefore the all-rounder will have an enormous part to play once more during this contest.
• When considering the struggles of the Windies top order within the first ODI, they’ll look to vary their line-up, although the likes of Shai Hope, Roston Chase and Fabian Allen are all injured.

AUSTRALIA

• Australia struck an early blow within the first ODI, easily beating West Indies by 133 runs to steer the three-match series.
• Regular captain Aaron Finch faces a race against the clock to be fit this match, with Carey able to step us as skipper once more should the opener not make it, whilst Mitchell Starc off the rear of his five-wicket haul within the first ODI should feature once more alongside fast bowling partner Josh Hazlewood, whom himself accrued three wickets as Australia look to seal a series victory.
