Deadline: September 11, 2019 at 7 PM IST
Venue: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua
Pitch report
When West Indies came to bat in the second ODI, it seemed like a different wicket altogether. The ball beat the outside edge often, and when it did hit the bat, it found a fielder. To put things into perspective, Australia proved the fact that, even on a batting-friendly wicket, you can reap the rewards if you bowl in the right channel and according to the field.
Weather report
It will be partly cloudy on Wednesday in Antigua, with precipitation reading 20%.

Match prediction
Australia have not lost to West Indies since 2013, and with the series already sealed 2-0, the match prediction for the last T20I tips in their favour.
Players to watch out for
Here’s Ellyse Perry’s last seven innings across formats: 116, 76*, 7*, 47*, 60*, 33*, 112*. Two months ago, she took a seven-wicket haul against England, registering the best bowling figures by an Australian women in ODIs. After all, she is the No. 1 all-rounder in ICC ODI and T20I Rankings.
Alyssa Healy has been no less of late. Her last 12 innings include 2 hundreds and 4 fifties. In the ongoing series, she has smashed 180 runs at an impressive average of 90.
Talking of records, Meg Lanning became the fastest to score 13 ODI hundreds, surpassing Hashim Amla.
From the West Indian squad, barring their captain Stafanie Taylor, no player has looked confident in the series. Stafanie scored 70 off West Indies’ 130 runs in the first ODI.
