It’s been a fabulous T20 series for the home team in the 2021 Australia tour of West Indies so far. West Indies lost to South Africa 2-3 before this series but they picked a 3-1 victory in this series so far, with one game to go. They’ve got some brilliant firepower in a long batting lineup and we know even number #7 and #8 can hit a long ball, so sports bettors can wager on them having the most sixes in this 5th T20!
As for Australia, it’s been a struggle so far but they’ll be really happy with their last win where they racked up 189 and won by 4 runs. Prior to this, they scored 140, 141 and 127, with all games in this series being played on the same ground. We know for a fact that it’s going to be difficult to defend 160-170 batting first here.

West Indies
Very easy selections from this team would be their two spinners Fabian Allen and Hayden Wash Jr. Allen has proved what a big smasher he is with the bat, hitting 6 consecutive sixes off Riley Meredith in the 19th over in the last game. At the same time, he’s got 4 wickets at an economy rate of below 7 in 4 games. As for Walsh, he’s been ripping through the Aussie batsmen, so they’re both must haves in your WI vs AUS 5th T20 fantasy teams.
With the bat, it’s been three failures for Chris Gayle but one match-winning knock in the 3rd T20I which proves our point that he’s always got that fight when playing for the national side, so he makes our WI vs AUS 5th T20 Dream11 team too. If you want another bowling option, consider Oshane Thomas who was taken apart in the last game, giving away 31 runs in 2 overs and getting one wicket, which means he’s an x-factor bowling option.
Australia
Of course, the first person you want in your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) WI vs AUS fantasy team from Australia is Mitchell Marsh who has had a bit of a coming of age this series with 6 wickets and 3 fifties in 4 games, so he’s a worthy fantasy captain option for you. Apart from him, Matthew Wade is a good x-factor pick because not many teams will be selecting him, considering he’s got only 61 runs in 4 games.

With the ball, a lot of praise went to Mitchell Starc for his final over that won them the game in the 4th T20 but he’s only got one wicket this series, so we’d rather pick Riley Meredith who has been super expensive in the 2 games he’s played (13.4 RPO) but he’s managed 4 wickets. Another bowler who wasn’t doing well with 3 wicketless outings was Adam Zampa but he bagged an impressive 2-fer in the last game and can be picked.
