Prepare for a gripping finale as the West Indies tour of Australia ODI series reaches its climax with the 3rd and final ODI. With Australia having already clinched the series 2-0, anticipation is high for a thrilling contest as both teams gear up for the upcoming clash in Canberra.
Captain Steve Smith will be undoubtedly pleased with his young side's commendable performance in the absence of key players. With momentum on their side, the Aussies are poised to continue their trend of trial and error, exploring their squad's depth in this final encounter.
While Australia's bowling unit has been formidable, the West Indies have excelled with the ball; however, their batters need to step up to secure a consolation win in the series. As the stage is set for a fierce battle, cricket fans can expect an enthralling display of skill, strategy, and determination at the Manuka Oval in the final ODI of the series.

AustraliaWest IndiesIn terms of Australia's team news, significant changes were announced last match. Travis Head was released from both the ODI and T20I squads to allow him crucial rest ahead of the upcoming New Zealand tour. Meanwhile, Xavier Bartlett, despite an impressive debut in the 1st ODI, sat out the last game due to his injury history.
Excitingly, Jake Fraser-McGurk, who made a noteworthy ODI debut alongside Will Sutherland in the last match, is set to feature prominently in the 3rd ODI. Their inclusion adds a fresh dynamic to the Australian lineup. Keep an eye on Sean Abbott, whose all-round prowess makes him a serious threat to the West Indies.
In the bowling department, the experienced Josh Hazlewood, added in the last match, is entrusted with leading the unit alongside the spin expertise of Zampa. The Australian squad's reshuffle promises an intriguing mix of seasoned players and emerging talents in this crucial encounter.
With very limited players left in the squad, we expect the same lineup.
Predicted Lineup: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green, Steven Smith (c), Marnus Labsuchagne, Matt Short, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Will Sutherland, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
Looking ahead to the West Indies team news, the bowling department has showcased decent performances in the previous two ODIs.
The impressive Gudakesh Motie, who delivered a stellar performance with figures of 3/28, is expected to play a pivotal role in the upcoming clash.
Romario Shepherd remains an ever-present threat, boasting an impressive record of 10 matches, 15 wickets, a remarkable economy rate of 5.86, and a striking strike rate of 28.53. His consistency makes him a key player to watch out for.
In the batting department, Shai Hope has been a standout performer with 409 runs in 10 matches at an impressive average of 58.43 and a strike rate of 91.49. Hope's form will be crucial for the West Indies as they aim to secure a consolation win in the final ODI against Australia.
Alzarri will start the 3rd ODI as well against Australia.
Predicted Lineup: Justin Greaves, Alick Athanaze, Kjorn Ottley, Shai Hope (c/wk), Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Oshane Thomas
Debutant Fraser-McGurk showed glimpses of his power and hitting skills in the previous match against Alzarri Joseph. If he continues to showcase such prowess at the top order for Australia, we predict that he will score a half-century in the upcoming 3rd ODI.
Turning our attention to the all-rounder Sean Abbott, his last three ODIs have been impressive, with 7 wickets at an economy rate of 4.82 and a strike rate of 25.42. Abbott's recent form makes him a strong contender to make an impact with both bat and ball in the upcoming match.
On the West Indies side, Gudakesh Motie has been a standout performer with 14 wickets in 8 matches at an exceptional economy rate of 4.03 and a strike rate of 31.07. Australia will win the match and the series 3-0.
