West Indies vs Australia – 2nd ODI Betting Tips

Host West Indies will face Australia in the second ODI of the three-match series in Bridgetown on Thursday. 

The home team will be coming in this fixture low on confidence after suffering a thumping 133-run defeat in the first match. 

The team management will hoping that the players will turn it around and produce a much better display in a do-or-die encounter. 

On the other hand, the visitors will be coming in this fixture relatively calm after producing a near-perfect performance on Tuesday at the same venue. 

Therefore, the team management will be hoping to see the players continue their good run and seal the series on Thursday which will give them a chance to test the bench strength in the final game on the tour. 

West Indies Form and Team news: 

After suffering a rather demoralising defeat in the first match, West Indies might opt to make few changes in a game they will have to win in order to stay alive in the series. 

The team management will be extremely concerned with the batting performance in the first fixture where chasing a par target of 257, the Caribbean giants were dismissed in less than 27 overs and only four batsmen managed to score in double figures. 

Star wicketkeeper-batsman Shai Hope, who did not take part in the first ODI, is likely to return to the playing XI for the all-important encounter. 

In the batting department, the Windies will be relying on the likes of captain Kieron Pollard, Hope, young Shimron Hetmyer, explosive opener Evin Lewis, experienced Darren Bravo and exciting Nicholas Pooran to score bulk of the runs and give the bowlers something to bowl with. 

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Alzarri Joseph, Sheldon Cottrell, Jason Holder along with the spin duo of Hayden Walsh, Akeal Hosein to produce timely breakthroughs. 

Australia Form and Team News: 

After registering a comfortable win in the first ODI, Australia are unlikely to make any significant changes in the playing XI for the match on Thursday. 

The team management will be extremely pleased with the batting display on Tuesday from a relatively young-looking lineup without the likes of Aaron Finch, David Warner and Steve Smith. 

In the batting department, the Kangaroos will be relying on the likes of captain Alex Carey, veteran Matthew Wade, middle-order batsman Ashton Turner along with all-rounders Mitchell Marsh, Moises Henriques to score bulk of the runs and put the opposition under pressure. 

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Wes Agar along with the leg-spinner Adam Zampa to dismantle the home team’s batting unit.

Tipster’s Angle

The result in the first ODI was a complete contract with the way things were during the recently concluded five-match T20I series. 

Despite losing the opening fixture, on paper at least, the home team looks a more balanced unit compared to the inexperienced Australia lineup without their three prominent batsmen. 

Therefore, the prediction is for Pollard-led unit to secure a much-important win and keep themselves alive in the series. 

Tip 1: Australia’s strong record at Barbados

There is no doubt that left-arm quick was the star of the show for Australia with the ball in hand. He took his eighth five-wicket haul in his limited-overs career. Starc will take heart from the fact that he holds excellent numbers against West Indies.
