West Indies vs Australia: Match Preview

The pink ball day/night Test returns after a long time, following the Jamaican board’s green signal to proceed. Australia has been clinical, except for a few slip-ups in their batting order, which struggled on sluggish surfaces, though they still secured the series 2-0. Meanwhile, the West Indies have fought hard with the ball, but their batting line-up failed to support their bowling attack, leading to a loss at home.

Heading into this day/night Test in Jamaica, the pitch appears to have some grass, which could make conditions better for batting under lights. This may prompt teams to make changes, especially by including an extra seamer suited to such a surface. Australia captain Pat Cummins has already hinted at going with four seamers, possibly bringing in Scott Boland in place of Nathan Lyon, who has been expensive—conceding over 4.5 runs per over in the first two matches.

Meanwhile, the West Indies might look to swap out-of-form batters. Former captain Kraigg Brathwaite is struggling, averaging just 3.8 in this series, a poor return for an opener. However, Roston Chase has backed him, which may indicate Brathwaite retains his place in the XI. In the bowling department, Jomel Warrican could return to add experience, or the Windies might stick with the four-fast-bowler attack used in the second Test.

This Test is expected to differ greatly from the first two. On what has been a bowling-friendly surface, this match, played under lights, could finally deliver a run-fest, allowing batters to find form. Stay tuned for more updates on the West Indies vs Australia 3rd Test.
