Warner Park, St Kitts Pitch Report

At Warner Park in St Kitts, the pitch generally balances out but leans towards batting success in T20s owing to its short boundaries of 60–70 meters which make high scores over 200 runs quite common. Teams batting second have a 60% success rate in T20 matches, as the pitch tends to favor chasing teams. Initial overs provide pacers with bounce and seam movement, while spinners can exploit turn throughout the game. The humid tropical environment (75–80% humidity, temperatures between 29–27°C) along with winds (20–26 km/h) can also impact the gameplay. This will be the first of three matches to be played at the venue and it will give us close how it will play throughout the series.

WI vs AUS Predicted Playing XI

West Indies: Brandon King, Shai Hope (C), Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Matthew Forde, Jason Holder, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein.

Australia: Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh (C), Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Mathew Kuhnemann.

WI vs AUS Key Performers

West Indies Top Batter: Brandon King

West Indies opening batter Brandon King did fairly well in the previous match as he scored 56 runs and if he carries that same momentum to St Kitts, that will be great help for the hosts who have to put big total on the board against a destructive Australian batting line-up.

West Indies Top Bowler: Gudakesh Motie

West Indies cricket team fans will be hoping that Gudakesh Motie can repeat the performance from the 1st T20I where he picked 2 wickets but went wicketless in the 2nd T20I. With the track expected to favour the spinners, Motie can be effective for the hosts.

Australia Top Batter: Mitchell Owen

Australian batsman cum all-rounder Mitchell Owen has been in great form recently and is one of the biggest parts of Australia's destructive middle-order. He scored 313 runs in the Major League Cricket 2025 in 11 innings and scored a blazing fifty in the 1st T20I but didn't get to bat in the 2nd T20I.

Australia Top Bowler: Adam Zampa 

With key players like pay Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood unavailable for the series, Adam Zampa is the most experienced bowler in the team. He also picked 3 wickets in the last match of the pitch does help the spinners a bit, Zampa can be the game-changer for Australia in this match.

WI vs AUS Today Match Prediction 

This has been a series where the visitors Australia have completely dominated the proceedings. First they won the Test series 3-0 and now they are already leading the T20I series 2-0 after winning both the first two matches of the series.

When comparing both the teams, both teams have fire-power in their line-up especially Australia. As bowling, Australia is missing key bowlers but the ones representing the Aussies in this series have all worked hard so far and done well. West Indies also have a good bowling line-up, but they have been rather expensive so far in this series. 

So, despite moving to a different venue, Australia still had the upper-hand over the West Indies in this match. They have a good combination of pace and spin whereas their batting certainly put them on the driving seat to win the series. So we believe Australia should win this match and make 3-0 in the 5 match series.
