Team Previews
Australia Team Preview
Australia head into the third Test with the series in the bag, but they still have questions to answer—particularly about their batting stability. Cameron Green’s half-century and Steve Smith’s elegant 71 were silver linings in a tricky chase at Grenada. However, opener Sam Konstas has failed to impress, and the team will hope he finds form ahead of the Ashes.
The middle-order remains solid with Travis Head, Beau Webster, and Alex Carey, while the pace trio of Cummins, Starc, and Hazlewood continue to dominate under the pink ball. Nathan Lyon remains the spin weapon, though there’s speculation about Scott Boland being included as a four-pronged pace attack.
This Test also marks a special occasion for Mitchell Starc, who will play his 100th Test, and his pink-ball record makes him Australia’s biggest asset under lights.
West Indies Team Preview
The West Indies have shown flashes of brilliance in the series but haven’t sustained pressure. They’ve suffered two heavy defeats, and batting collapses remain their biggest issue. In Grenada, the Windies made just 143 in the fourth innings, despite a promising start from Brandon King and John Campbell.
Their bowling, though, has been spirited. Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales, and Alzarri Joseph form a potent pace attack capable of troubling even the best batters. The key lies in their top order surviving the new pink ball under lights.
Captain Roston Chase, alongside Shai Hope, must step up to lend credibility to the middle order. If the Windies are to compete, they’ll need at least one player to play a defining innings—something they’ve missed this series.

Favourite Team Today: Australia
Australia remain clear favourites to win the final Test. Their bowling attack thrives under lights with the pink ball—Mitchell Starc in particular has a phenomenal record in day-night Tests. The batting, while shaky at times, has enough depth to handle West Indies’ inconsistent bowling. The experience of Cummins, Hazlewood, and Smith gives Australia the tactical edge. West Indies’ batting collapses have cost them heavily, and unless they produce a near-perfect game, it’s difficult to see them overcoming the Australian juggernaut.
Australia Test History
Australia have played 876 Tests, winning 421, losing 234, drawing 219, and tying 2. They are the most successful Test nation in history and pioneers of pink-ball cricket, having never lost a day-night Test.
West Indies Test History
West Indies have played 586 Tests, winning 185, losing 218, drawing 182, and tying 1. Once dominant in the 70s and 80s, they have since fallen behind the leading Test nations due to inconsistent performances and a depleted talent pipeline.
