Pre-Match Analysis:
Prime Minister’s XI have got plenty of big guns in their line-up who have already represented Australia across formats. They are looking extremely formidable with capable batters and star all-rounders. Ashton Agar who played a couple of ODIs for Australia last week is available for this game which will definitely strengthen the side. Mark Steketee and Joel Paris are likely to share the new cherry and Michael Neser will come in as a first change. Marcus Harris and Henry Hunt are the first-choice openers whereas Peter Handscomb, Josh Inglis, and Aaron Hardie will bat in the middle.
West Indies are preparing themselves for the 2 matches Test series which is starting on 30th November. They had a good outing in the practice game against Combined NSW and ACT XI where their batters scored more than 400 runs in the 1st innings with Kraigg Brathwaite, Shamarh Brooks, Jason Holder, and Devon Thomas chipping in with half-centuries meanwhile their bowlers were tested as they leaked runs easily. They are playing against a side that almost matches the standard of the current Australian Test line-up.
