West Indies will be looking to unleash their pace attack once again as it aims to skittle the defending champions in their ICC World Cup 2019 pool game. Pakistan were at the receiving end of some aggressive deliveries from the Caribbean pace attack that rarely missed the radar. But Australia boasts of some of the best batsmen in the game which may not repeat the mistake of their Pakistan counterpart. In terms of the pace attack, Australia have a lot of firepower in their arsenal too which could prove pivotal. Let us have a look at the players who make it to our players to watch list. Australia vs West Indies Cricket Score 10th ODI Match.
David Warner
Ever since making his come back post serving a one year ban, David Warner looks like a man on a mission. He has cut down on those risky shots at the start of the innings and there is more patience about his innings. At the same time, there has been no let down on his aggressive stroke play in the powerplays. He has a fifty to his name so far and would be eager to continue the good run with the bat.
Aaron Finch
Australian skipper Aaron Finch led his team well against Afghanistan taking the right calls on the field. With the bat too, he got a quick fire 66 that helped his team chase down the score of 208 within 35 overs. An impact player, Aaron Finch will be looking to get a few runs early in the tournament which he failed to do so in the previous World Cup.

Adam Zampa
Although he does go for a few runs, Adam Zampa gets those crucial breakthroughs in the middle stages which every skipper desperately needs in ODIs. The West Indies batsman likes the ball coming at them with pace and may not fancy the turn and guile of this Australian spinner. He will need to cut down on the freebies he is prone to give the opposition batsmen.
Andre Russell
One of the in form all-rounders in the game at the moment, Andre Russell has been shining brightly ever since the IPL. He was dangerous in the bowler firnedly conditions during the first game against Pakistan. Although his services with the bat were not used, we all know how destructive this Kolkata Knight Riders’ player can be in the lower middle order. ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 – Points Table.
Oshane Thomas
Oshane Thomas lived up to the hype in the first game destroying the Pakistan batting unit by claiming four wickets. An aggressive fast bowler, his bowling action aids him to get the bounce from even dead pitches. His contest with Australian openers David Warner and Aaron Finch should be really intriguing as both parties like to dominate from the onset.
Australia have won their last five games on the trot and will be looking to continue their winning momentum against the West Indies. If West Indies are forced to go in without Chris Gayle and Andre Russell due to injury concerns, it could severely dent their prospect.
