WI vs AUS 1st ODI: Possible Playing 11 of West Indies

WI Playing 11: West Indies and Australia will face off in the first ODI of the series here at Barbados. After winning the T20I series convincingly, West Indies will be looking for a similar performance here with World Cup Super League points up for grabs. There will be few players from the T20I set-up which should give them some momentum. With skipper Kieron Pollard and allrounder Jason Holder expected to return, Windies will be a confident side. Both sides have faced each other in 140 ODIs before in which Australia leads West Indies 74-60.
