Talking about the prediction of the first game, Australia is likely to clinch the game and take a 1-0 lead in the series. The reason behind them having a high chance to win the game is their solid batting and bowling lineup.
The Aaron Finch-led will be fielding a full-strength squad and with them playing stellar cricket in India, that will likely thump the visitors by a big margin.
Also with the home conditions in favour of them, Australia would be hoping to continue their good record at the stadium. Their players are also in good form whereas West Indies of late have struggled to get going and will be under pressure to perform.

The only player Australia will be missing is Marcus Stoinis. However in his place, Cameron Green will be in the playing XI. He set the stage on fire during the India series and is expected to do the same.
