AUS vs WI Key battles:

Mitchell Marsh vs Jason Holder

The Australian captain, who missed out on getting a big score in what were good batting conditions in the last match, will look to accomplish that in the next game.

Marsh will be up against Jason Holder, who would wish to put on an improved performance than what he has done in the first two outings.

Glenn Maxwell vs Alzarri Joseph

Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who opened the batting for Australia in the second T20I, would want to get his team off to an attacking start in what can turn out to be the series decider.

Maxwell will face the challenge of Alzarri Joseph, who was quite expensive in the previous match and would be itching to bowl his team to a much-needed win.

Brandon King vs Adam Zampa

West Indies opener Brandon King scored a fifty in the last match and would like to build on it in what happens to be a do-or-die game for the West Indies.

King will go head-to-head against Adam Zampa, who got rid of him in the second T20I
