Australia has looked like a formidable team throughout this series. Their batsmen, especially Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, and Mitchell Owen, are freely thrashing the Windies and scoring a lot of runs. The bowling attack, led by Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa, has also been precise and excellent.
West Indies’ top order, with Brandon King and Shai Hope, has been good, but the middle order is lacking runs. In their final phase of the series, they will need even better performances from their big names like Hetmyer, Holder, and Rutherford.
Warner Park Pitch Report
The pitch at Warner Park is very flat in the beginning, which helps the players who play fast during the power play. But later it slows down a bit, giving spinners and bowlers with variations in bowling a chance to come into the game. Historically, chasing has been a good option here – 8 out of 12 T20 matches have been won by the team batting second.
Average first innings score: 123

Australia vs West Indies Match Prediction
Given the way Australia has played so far, they are the favourites to win this match. Their team looks balanced, and all the players are in form.
