Pitch Report:
The pitch seems to be a slower track. The bowlers have a lot of assistance on the surface and the pacers are expected to get swing early on. As the game progresses, the spinners might chum in the scenario, so the batters will have to stay firm and build up their innings.

Top Picks for WI vs AUS 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket
Mitchell Starc is an extremely important cog in the team’s wheel. The speedster has exuded his flair in both the games for Australia. In the first ODI, he picked up 5 wickets, whereas in the 2nd ODI, he scalped 3 wickets. He would be a key player for the team.
Hayden Walsh is a player that one can probably bank on. He has been in good form lately, as even against the Proteas, he was clinical for the team. He picked up 5 wickets in the first ODI and 1 in the second and would be keen to keep going.
Alex Carey’s contribution to the willow will be pivotal for the team. He played a belligerent knock of 67 in the first game. And heading into this decider, he would be keen to put up some show with the bat.
