AUS vs WI Dream11 Prediction, T20 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Updates For Match 1 of T20 2024

West Indies were brought crashing down to earth after their exploits in the Test series. Australia flexed their muscles to win the ODI series with a 3-0 margin. The final game of the series saw Australia easily win the contest inside 43 overs. The format now shifts to the T20I format which should benefit the visiting side.

Australia (AUS) will start as the favourites without a shadow of a doubt. Their white-ball form in recent times has been outstanding. David Warner returns to the side as he gets ready for his final swansong in Australian colours.

West Indies (WI) will look to put their abysmal ODI series performance behind them. Andre Russell and Nicolas Pooran return to the side and that should bolster their chances. It is a great chance for the West Indians to show their might with the bat and ball.

AUS vs WI – Pitch Report

Big Bash League 2023-24 witnessed the teams batting first win on most occasions. The ball starts to move a lot more under lights making it difficult for the batters. The captain who wins the toss will most likely choose to bat first and put runs on the board. Runs will be hard to come initially but once the batters get their eye in Hobart is an amazing track to bat on.
