With a 2-0 lead already, Australia will look to whitewash the West Indies in the Test series when they clash in the third Test match on Saturday.
Roston Chase and team suffered another humiliating defeat in the series; having already lost the Test series, they will look to avoid the whitewash when they face Aussie in the final Test match. Brandon King, playing his second Test match, stood tall for his team with a crucial 75-run innings. Shamar Joseph has been wreaking havoc in the ongoing series, taking 14 wickets in just 4 innings.
Meanwhile, Pat Cummins led the side to the first series victory of the new World Test Championship (2025-27) cycle. They thrashed the West Indies side by 159 runs and 133 runs in the first and second Test matches, respectively. The duo of all-rounder Beau Webster and wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey stole the show with their performance in the first innings, scoring 60 and 63 runs, respectively. Steve Smith, who was coming off an injury, also registered his 43rd half-century of his Test career.
Despite a stronger lineup and commendable performance in the Test series, the batting lineup of the Men in Yellow has been seen facing trouble against West Indies pacers.

West Indies vs. Australia 3rd Test predicted XIs, team news
Having already lost the Test series, Darren Sammy would want to bring some new changes to the playing XI for the final Test match. Kraigg Brathwaite, who has been out-of-touch for a long time now, is likely to lose his spot to another opener, Mikyle Louis or Kevlon Anderson, who have been waiting for their opportunity in this series. Barring Brandon King, no other batter from the Windies has scored even a single half-century.
Skipper Roston Chase and wicketkeeper batter Shai Hope have failed to put up an impressive total on the scoreboard.
On the bowling front, Shamar Joseph’s love affair with the Aussies is likely to be seen in the last match of yours. Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales have been giving their best in the series. The trio is likely to retain their places for the next match.
West Indies predicted XI: Mikyle Louis, Shai Hope (wk), John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Justin Greaves, Roston Chase (c), Anderson Phillips, Alzari Joseph, Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph.
Australia has already sealed the Test series; it would be a better option to provide much-needed rest for their key players. The opening pair of Usman Khwaja and Sam Konstas haven't given their best yet, but a much-needed partnership at the top will help your burdens. Steve Smith returned to form during the last outing after getting ruled out from the first match due to a fractured finger and scored a brilliant half-century on his returning match.
Australia's batting has been anchored by the middle order, with Travis Head, Alex Carey, and Beau Webster stepping up when needed. Pat Cummins is less likely to change the side for the final Test match. If Mitchell Starc appears for the final Test match, he would script history for Australia by becoming only the second Aussie pace bowler to reach this milestone.
With the series already in their pocket, the Australian management would look to provide rest to their premier pacer Josh Hazlewood in the final Test match and opt for Scott Boland while Nathan Lyon is likely to retain his place as the only specialist spinner.
Australia predicted XI: Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland.
