Australia won the toss and decided to bat against West Indies
For the fourth time in the series Aaron Finch won the toss and he opted to bat as Australia seek their first victory on the tour.
They made one change with left-arm quick Jason Behrendorff replacing Josh Hazlewood with Australia again going for three specialist pacemen. It means the stuttering middle order remains unchanged from the previous match.
West Indies have three switches to their XI. Shimron Hetmyer and Obed McCoy have minor injuries while Dwayne Bravo also misses out. Evin Lewis, Akeal Hosein and Oshane Thomas come into the side.
West Indies 1 Lendl Simmons, 2 Evin Lewis, 3 Chris Gayle, 4 Andre Fletcher, 5 Nicholas Pooran (capt & wk), 6 Andre Russell, 7 Fabian Allen, 8 Hayden Walsh Jr, 9 Akeal Hosein, 10 Sheldon Cottrell, 11 Oshane Thomas
Australia 1 Aaron Finch (capt), 2 Matthew Wade (wk), 3 Mitchell Marsh, 4 Alex Carey, 5 Moises Henriques, 6 Ashton Turner, 7 Dan Christian, 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Adam Zampa, 10 Riley Meredith, 11 Jason Behrendorff
