Match Preview

Australia have been the shortest of favourites in Sport 1, and so they proved their price by beating the West Indies to the tune of 164 runs.

The consequence was arrange by an enormous first innings with the bat, by which Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith each raised the bat for double centuries because the hosts tallied 4-598 earlier than declaring.

Opener Usman Khawaja and middle-order dasher Travis Head additionally obtained in on the act, posting 65 and 99, respectively.

From there the sport turned out to be a little bit of a slog, however the final result was by no means doubtful. Australia’s bowlers shared the wickets because the West Indies put up 283 within the first dig due to the openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul.

It was an analogous story within the second innings – set an enormous chase after extra Marnus heroics (104* off 110), the West Indies grinded their option to 333 off 110 overs earlier than succumbing to Australia’s seasoned spinner Nathan Lyon.

‘The GOAT’ took 6-128 in a powerful show, pressured to bowl bulk overs after Cummins succumbed to a quad damage which has dominated him out of the second check.

That brings us to the upcoming encounter in Adelaide, which is certain to be a spectacle as all the time.

The lack of Cummins is Australia’s solely change. He will likely be changed by Scott Boland, who has a giant fame to dwell as much as after he dismantled England on the MCG final summer time.

As such, anticipate the Aussie assault to check the West Indies once more.

The West Indies haven’t but confirmed their XI for the Adelaide check but it surely’s truthful to imagine that they’ll make some adjustments of their very own.

The blunt Windies bowling assault was solely in a position to take six wickets within the opening sport, with Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder wicketless, regardless of these two being the decide of the bowlers.

As such, I can see some rotation amongst the quicks and the batting ranks.

Shamarh Brooks was introduced in as a concussion substitute for Nkumrah Bonner halfway by Sport 1, though he didn’t impress with scores of 33 and 11.

Kyle Mayers and Joshua Da Silva additionally failed to bother the scorers, so they could be within the firing line.

Nonetheless, it’s onerous to see any variety of adjustments having an affect on this sport. Brathwaite and Chanderpaul are the one batsmen who look more likely to rating effectively, and they’ll discover the going more durable dealing with the pink ball underneath lights on this match. Moreover, the bowlers simply don’t have the tempo or management required to interrupt Australia’s deep batting line-up.

Count on one other large win for Australia right here.

 

Prop Bets

Starc took 4 wickets within the opening check, together with three within the first innings (equal most), and he ought to go higher in Adelaide. The left-arm swing bowler has taken 56 wickets in day-night checks, aided by the swinging pink ball that we wields confidently. With Cummins out of the image, Starc is nice worth right here.

I’m going again to the effectively with Smith. Australia’s batting marvel scored 220 runs within the first check with out being dismissed and not one of the West Indies bowlers appear like eradicating him, not that they ever have beforehand. As the times go by 2022/23 is trying increasingly more like a Steve Smith summer time.
