AAC vs WIC Match Preview
West Indies Champions suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of South Africa in a thrilling encounter last Saturday. With rain interruptions reducing the match to 11 overs per side, West Indies posted a modest total of 79 runs, thanks to Lendl Simmons (28) and Chadwick Walton (27).
The target was revised to 81 runs under the DLS method, but the West Indies bowlers, with their disciplined lengths and tight lines, didn’t give an inch. Sarel Erwee and JP Duminy looked comfortable at the crease, but despite their solid efforts, they could only level the target, leading to a tense bowl-out, which South Africa eventually won.
West Indies will now face Australia, who come into this contest after sharing points with England. The last time these two sides met was in the previous edition, which turned into an absolute run-fest, with a staggering total of 493 runs scored across both innings. Australia walked away with the win by 55 runs in that high-scoring affair.
Ben Dunk was the star with the bat in that game, smashing a century, while Christian was just one run shy of a ton with his 99. For West Indies, Ashley Nurse and Dwayne Smith both played vital knocks, scoring 60+ runs each. Expect them to once again be key contributors and potential dream11 differential picks in this thrilling clash.
