Australia vs West Indies Betting Tips
Australia to score under 31.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@Parimatch)
Australia had David Warner before who took care of the opening in the games for the team. Since he retired, there was a huge hole to fill that position up. In the last three ODIs, the duo of David Warner and Travis Head secured 12, 60 & 16 runs before their first dismissal. In their last series against the West Indies back in 2021, AUS posted the scores of 51, 1 & 10 runs before their first dismissal. The sides clashed in two Test matches before entering the ODI series where AUS scored 25 & 6 runs before their first dismissal in the 1st innings. That said, Australia will be expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.

Australia vs West Indies Betting Odds
In the upcoming 1st ODI of the series, Australia is cautious not to underestimate the West Indian team's potential in limited-overs cricket. Australia will field an experimental XI when they take on West Indies in the first one-day international at the MCG on Friday. Eight players missing from this Australian ODI squad that were at the World Cup include David Warner, Glenn Maxwell, Pat Cummins, Mitch Marsh, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood, Alex Carey and Marcus Stoinis. Captain Steven Smith and Travis Head will carry significant responsibilities. The absence of Captain Pat Cummins and key bowler Mitch Starc puts the onus on Lance Morris and Xavier Bartlett, supported by the experienced Adam Zampa in the bowling department.
West Indies, eager for a white-ball resurgence, faces the World Champions on their home turf. Captain Shai Hope, in exceptional form, becomes the linchpin of the batting lineup, especially with relatively new faces. The bowling unit relies on the experience of Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shepherd to lead the attack, aiming for a resilient performance against the formidable Australian side.
