WI vs AUS 5th T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

West Indies will take on Australia one last time in this T20I series and this upcoming fixture is supposed to be played at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia on July 17, Saturday. I have managed to assort three of the top betting tips from the WI vs AUS 5th T20I match prediction.

West Indies fell short by just 5 runs in the fourth T20I of the series and was very close to making it 4-0 in the series. But Australia came up clutch in the penultimate game of the series. Mitchell Marsh has been having a wonderful tour both with bat and the ball. He was instrumental in powering Australia to that win in the 4th match of the series. I would give equal credit to Mitchell Starc who defended 11 runs in the last over with Andre Russell at the crease. Starc bowled 5 dot balls and conceded that last ball 6 powering Australia to a wonderful victory.

West Indies, on the other hand, have been quite sensational in this T20I series. With the World T20 coming up later this year, this series will be of immense importance for the two-time T20 World Cup champions. With nothing to lose and only pride to salvage, Australia will come at West Indies with everything they have. While they gear up for the last T20I of the series, let me take through the top betting tips from the WI vs AUS 5th T20I match prediction.

WI vs AUS Player Bets:

The team bets are still mostly in favour of West Indies and that is understandable. The performance of West Indies has been nothing but brilliant. Thus, player bets are a safer option from this last and final T20I of the series. Aaron Finch, Lendl Simmons and of course Mitchell Marsh from the WI vs AUS 5th T20I match prediction.

Aaron Finch to score over 21.5 runs

After two back-to-back single digit scores in the first two T20Is, the Australian skipper has done better with the bat. Aaron Finch needed to do the same in the first couple of T20 matches else the results of those games could have been different. But whatever is done cannot be undone. Overall, Finch has played 75 T20Is and has 2439 runs at an average of 37.52.

Finch has an average of 23.25 during his first tour of West Indies. Otherwise, he has played 34 games away from home and has 1438 runs against his name at an average of 43.48. In the ongoing calendar year, Finch has scored 290 runs at an average of 36.25. As the captain of the side, Finch has been averaging 36.16. While opening the batting for Australia in this particular format, the captain has an average of almost 36.00. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Aaron Finch to score over 21.5 runs in the WI vs AUS 5th T20I match prediction.

Mitchell Marsh to score over 21.5 runs

The star of the series - Mitchell Marsh has caught the eyes of every single cricket fan during the ongoing tour of West Indies! He rose above the rest with the bat and he shone with the ball as well. That is the kind of all-round performance that Australia will be looking for in the upcoming T20 World Cup and also in the next game tomorrow morning. Marsh is the leading run getter of this series, scoring 189 runs in 4 matches so far at an average of 47.25.

The junior Marsh has racked up three half-centuries in four matches so far. He scored 75 runs from just 44 balls in the previous game as well.

Lendl Simmons to score over 20.5 runs

To wrap things up for this game, I have Lendl Simmons or you guys to bet on. Simmons has played a lot of T20 cricket all across the globe and as a result of that. He has retained his place in the T20I squad of his nation. He has scored north of 20 runs in three out of the four matches. His scores in this series - 72, 15, 30 and 27, prove that he has been mostly consistent. Also we can add an average of 36.00 during this ongoing series against Australia.

While playing on the home soil, the 36-year-old cricketer has an average of 28.37 with the bat. In the ongoing calendar year, a total of 289 has been scored from his bat at 28.90.
