Australia Playing 11 vs West Indies- 5th T20I, Australia tour of West Indies 2025:
Openers: Mitchell Marsh (c), Glenn Maxwell
The visitors has looked like a well-rounded unit that has got all its bases covered in batting, bowling, and in the field, which has resulted in them winning all the matches on their tour of the West Indies across formats so far.
The Aussies would like to build on the momentum they have gained in the series and carry it to the home series against South Africa starting next month.
One of the notable things about the Aussies in the series has been their ability to bounce from tricky situations while batting and bowling, which is one of the reasons why they are a force to be reckoned with in all three formats.
The team that is going through transition in T20I cricket has been well led by Mitchell Marsh in this particular format, as the all-rounder has a decent amount of experience leading the side in T20I cricket.
The former T20 World Cup winners would like to end the series with a win and are expected to go into the final T20I with the same team that took the field in the fourth T20I.
Australia has tried a new opening pair of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh in the ongoing series.
Although both batters haven't been able to form a big partnership for the opening wicket so far but they have played in their usual aggressive manner, which has kept the run rate on the higher side for Australia.
Having said that, they have played a decent innings individually in a couple of matches, with Maxwell missing out on a half-century in the last match, and Marsh, who got off to a start in the first match.
The visitors would want the openers to click together in the last match to finish the series on a high
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green, Mitchell Owen, Cooper Connolly, Arron Hardie
The opening duo will be followed by a middle order that has been in magnificent form throughout the series and comprises names like Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Mitchell Owen, and Cooper Connolly.
A couple of the batters have always put their hand up to take the team home from difficult situations in the series, and would like to continue doing that in the last match.
The Aussie management would be happy with the performance of a relatively young middle order.
Having said that, the batters would also want the openers to build a solid platform for them to capitalize on.
Bowlers: Xavier Bartlett, Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa
As far as the bowling department of Australia is concerned, it has time and again pulled the game back after failing to pick wickets on most occasions in the series.
Australia has been able to give chances to the majority of the players in the four matches so far, and all of them have been able to fulfill the team's expectations.
For instance, Aaron Hardie, who was given an opportunity in the last match, bowled economically and picked up two wickets, which should have done his confidence a world of good.
On the other hand, Adam Zampa, who is the senior bowler in the team, gave away 54 runs in the last game but was able to pick four wickets.
