AUS vs WI 5th T20I Match Preview
With the series already won by Australia, the fifth match in Basseterre on July 29 offers West Indies a chance for redemption. While Australia will look to polish their record with another dominant outing, WI’s middle-order, led by Shai Hope and Brandon King, will aim to exploit home conditions and close the series on a high. Expect both teams to rotate players and give chances to bench contenders in a low-pressure final.
Australia vs West Indies Final T20I Pitch & Weather Report
The surface at Warner Park favours batters: a typically flat wicket that becomes even easier to bat on as the match goes on. Teams chasing have historically had the edge here, thanks to predictable bounce and shorter boundaries. The average first‑innings T20I total is around 142–166 runs, and pacers tend to fare better early, while spinners get little turn
Local time at the scheduled 07:00 PM start is expected to be mostly clear and warm, with temperatures around 28 °C and falling slightly as night progresses. Humidity will be high but rain chance is very low (about 5 %) at that hour.
