Toss Australia chose to bat v West Indies
Australia's captain Michael Clarke won the toss and chose to bat first
as his side sought to close out the ODI series against the West Indies
in the third match at Manuka Oval.
Clarke's team sported only one change from the team that played in Perth
on Sunday, Shane Watson returning in place of Usman Khawaja. The hosts
elected not to include Xavier Doherty despite being presented with a
slower Canberra surface, while there was also no room for Ben Cutting.
The West Indies were able to recall Andre Russell after his missed both
the Perth matches with a knee problem, his returning coming at the
expense of Jason Holder.
Manuka's surface looks brimful of runs on a warm afternoon, providing
Watson with a chance to play himself into form at the top of the
Australian batting order ahead of the Test tour of India.
Australia 1 Shane Watson, 2 Aaron Finch, 3 Phillip Hughes, 4
Michael Clarke (capt), 5 George Bailey, 6 Matthew Wade (wk), 7 Glenn
Maxwell, 8 James Faulkner, 9 Mitchell Johnson, 10 Mitchell Starc, 11
Clint McKay.
West Indies 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Kieran Powell, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4

Darren Sammy (capt), 9 Andre Russell, 10 Sunil Narine, 11 Kemar Roach.
