The match is in Nottingham, who can forget the humbling of English side at the hands of Pakistan . It is the last World Cup of Gayle and Russell and they wish to count it out.
The way Russell is taking his bowling to a next level, ably supported by Thomas and Cotterel, West Indies team is to be feared.
Venue
This was a venue for run feast but not with the pace attack of Starc, Cummins, Thomas and Russell. Both sides will lose early wickets and scoring 300+ will be a challenge.
The batting depth of West Indies make them a swashbuckler side but how well they can cope up with pace of Starc and co.is to be seen.
On the other hand Smith and Warner are going to provide the fulcrum but if they get out then Australia will lose. Khwaja may salvage the slide.
For West Indies. Lewis, Shai Hope, Holder, Hetmyr provide more than adequate support to Gayle and Russell.
Verdict
Against a short pitch bowling of West Indies I am predicting Australian sub par performance and not withstanding a collapse. West Indies to win.
