Head to Head:
Australia Preview:
During this series, Australia will be captained by Steve Smith, as Pat Cummins and the other first-string fast bowlers are rested. Because of the depth of the Australian cricket infrastructure, this will have absolutely no effect on the team’s prospects of victory.
The top order of the batting order is Travis Head, Matthew Short, and possibly Jake Fraser-McGurk, followed by Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, and Cameron Green. Marnus Labuschagne’s continuous underachievement leading up to this series may result in his exclusion from consideration.
Lance Morris (extreme pace), Nathan Ellis (change-up specialist), and Jhye Richardson/Sean Abbott/Will Sutherland will occupy the remaining spinner positions, with Adam Zampa serving as the primary option.
No matter what strategy the Australians opt for, they will possess an abundance of batting depth and bowling prowess.

West Indies Preview:
West Indies discovered some champions during the Test series, but in order to compete with Australia in the ODIs, they will need to uncover more. Shai Hope, who is also the most effective batsman in the lineup, will captain the group. Recently, he has adopted a more assertive batting strategy, and it appears that his increased intensity is bearing fruit.
The remainder of the batting order appears to be somewhat deficient. Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Alick Athanaze, and Kavem Hodge may all be included in the lineup. Although each of these athletes is capable of batting, none of them have achieved notable success at the international level as of yet.
The potential importance of Romario Shepherd and Alzarri Joseph’s depth in the West Indies’ lineup cannot be overstated. In general, however, we do not anticipate them to score enough runs or maintain batsmanship for extended durations.
Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shepherd will be in charge of the bowling lineup, but the supporting cast is extremely scant once more. Oshane Thomas, Gudakesh Motie, and Hayden Walsh are in the lineup. An individual such as all-rounder Justin Greaves could also serve as a bowler.
The West Indian team has no paucity of all-rounders, but locating those of the highest caliber is also difficult.
