The AUS vs WI third and final ODI will be played on Tuesday, February 6. The match starts at 9 am IST with the series already won. Australia won the first ODI by 8 wickets and the second by 83 runs.

The West Indies are currently touring the West Indies. They drew a Test series and more importantly, won a Test match in Australia for the first time since 1997. However, they have failed to keep up the momentum in the ODI series.

A combined batting effort from Australia took them to a competitive 258/9. Australia led by Steve Smith were 91/5 in the 17th over and from there on went on to score almost 260. Sean Abbott batting at eight scored 69 off 63 balls and played a big role in getting his team close to 260. Matthew Short (41), Aaron Hardie (26), Marnus Labuschagne (26) played their part.

West Indies in their chase was bowled out for 175. Kaecy Cary top-scored with 40 as six Windies batters scored in single digits. Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott picked up three wickets each. Will Sutherland picked up two wickets as Australia registered a dominant win.

They are more likely to complete a clean sweep given they have been playing very dominant cricket throughout the series so far and are keen to finish on a high. Australia are placed second on the ICC ODI rankings while West Indies is tenth.

There is a visible difference between the experiences of both sides. The two teams have played 148 ODIs with the Aussies winning 78 matches and West Indies 61. In 19 T20Is, Australia have won 9 games while West Indies 10.

Steve Smith leads Australia in the absence of Pat Cummins in the AUS vs WI series. Shai Hope is the captain of the West Indies. The previous Test series between both sides ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams are short of key players and consist of a few uncapped members. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc are rested from the series with David Warner having just retired.

West Indies are without the likes of Jason Holder, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Andre Russell, and a certain Sunil Narine who last played an ODI for West Indies way back in 2016. He last played for West Indies back in 2019.
