AUS vs WI Dream11 match top picks

Top Wicketkeeper Pick

Nicholas Pooran (68 matches, 1401 runs, Average: 26.94)

Nicholas Pooran didn't score many runs in the previous game, managing only two. However, Pooran is one of the most explosive batters in the world with a strike rate of 130.45. While his form has been iffy of late, Pooran's ability to take on the bowlers should make him a good pick in your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.

Top Batter Pick

David Warner (92 matches, 2698 runs, Average: 33.31)

Like Pooran, David Warner also did not have the best of outings, scoring 14 runs off six balls. He did look in good form before throwing away a promising start. He averages 33.31 and strikes at 141.18 in this format, making him a top choice for your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Mitchell Marsh (39 matches, 899 runs, strike-rate: 125.21)

Mitchell Marsh has been a consistent performer in this format, impressing in last year's T20 World Cup. He averages nearly 30 with a strike rate in excess of 120. Although he is not likely to bowl, Marsh's ability to take on the pacers early on should make him a handy pick in your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Alzarri Joseph (2/17 in the previous match vs WI)

Alzarri Joseph was the pick of the Windies pacers in the previous game with figures of 4-0-17-2. He used his pace and ability to hit the deck hard to good effect, stifling the likes of Finch and Wade in the death overs. With Joseph also being the top wicket-taker in the recently-concluded CPL, he is a must-have in your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.

AUS vs WI match captain and vice-captain choices

David Warner

David Warner has been in decent form this year, scoring 432 runs in 12 IPL matches. He impressed in the ODIs against Zimbabwe and New Zealand, scoring two fifties. With Warner due for a big knock, he is a fine captaincy choice in your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.

Jason Holder

Jason Holder was one of the top performers in the previous game, scoring 13 runs off seven balls and picking up a wicket. Holder's recent performance was an extension of his CPL form, which saw him claim 17 wickets and score 155 runs. With Holder likely to play a major role with both the bat and ball, he is a handy choice as captain or vice-captain in your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.
