AUS vs WI Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Joshua da Silva (16 matches, 670 runs, Average: 30.45)
Joshua da Silva has been a good addition to the Windies' set-up with 670 runs at an average of 30.45. He has often done well while batting with the tail, having three fifties and a hundred to his name. With Alex Carey not likely to have a big say with the bat owing to his batting position, Da Silva could be a fine pick for your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.
Top Batter Pick
Marnus Labuschagne (28 matches, 2539 runs, Average: 54.02)
Marnus Labuschagne is one of the best red-ball batters in the world with a Test average of 54.02. Although he has not been able to score many runs in the format of late, Labuschagne has 21 scores of 50 or more in just 48 innings. With the Queensland batting all-rounder due for a big score, he is a top pick for your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Jason Holder (56 matches, 2571 runs, 142 wickets)
Jason Holder is a reputed all-rounder in Test cricket with 2571 runs and 142 wickets to his name. Holder has a decent bowling average of 28.04, with his ability to generate extra bounce holding him in good stead. With Holder adding some much-needed balance to the side with his batting, he is a must-have in your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Mitchell Starc (71 matches, 287 wickets, Average: 27.63)
Mitchell Starc comes into the series on the back of a good outing against England earlier in the month, albeit in the ODI format. The left-arm pacer averages 27.63 with the ball in Tests, often being used as an enforcer against the tail-enders. Given the conditions on offer, Starc is another must-have in your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.
AUS vs WI match captain and vice-captain choices
Steve Smith
Steve Smith is perhaps the best Test batter in the world with an average of 60.01 in 87 Test matches. Smith also has a good record against West Indies, scoring 497 runs in seven innings at an average of 165.66. Given his recent exploits against England in the ODI series, Smith should be a popular captaincy choice in the AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction teams.
Alzarri Joseph
Alzarri Joseph has evolved into West Indies' go-to bowler across formats this year. Joseph has 62 wickets in 22 matches at a strike rate of 61.27. He should enjoy the pace-friendly conditions on offer in Perth given his ability to extract extra bounce and pace. With Joseph's form holding him in good stead, he is a viable pick as captain or vice-captain in your AUS vs WI Dream11 prediction team.
