With the series done and dusted in Aussie’s favor, the West Indies meet them again in the fourth ODI match of the tour tomorrow in Sydney.
Tomorrow’s match will have no effect on the result of this series, but it may serve as a face saver for the Windies, who have been very disappointing in the series, considering the firepower of their unit.
The West Indies have definitely underachieved than what they could have got, and that is a worrying sign for the captain and the coach. They need to somehow find someone who can lift this nose-diving team up with a spark of brilliance.
Their troubles increase as Shane Watson has again made a superb comeback to the Aussie fold, smashing 122 runs in the 3rd ODI, grabbing the man of the match as well.
The West Indies are playing with their best XI, considering their squad, and no changes are expected from them for the upcoming match.
Considering their explosive batting line-up, the West Indies will hope that their batsmen come good again, as they showed glimpses of their true colors in batting, in the previous match.
On the other hand, the Kangaroos will have no looking back, and will be expecting another strong performance on the field.
George Bailey and Watson would be the key for the hosts in the batting department, as they will look to attack the West Indies bowlers throughout their innings, in the upcoming match.
Both are in great hitting form, especially Bailey who played two wonderful back to back innings.
In the bowling department, Xavier Doherty would still be in consideration to feature the playing XI, as the pitch in Sydney tends to favor the slow men in the later part of the innings.
No other drastic changes are expected in the Aussie lineup, unless they look to give some match practice to their bench players.
Tomorrow’s game may not affect the series outcome, but nonetheless the teams contain enough entertainers to gather interest of the viewers and the crowd.
