Predicted playing XI of West Indies Masters for their match against Australia Masters in the IMLT20 2025 –

Top Order

West Indies Masters’ batting is highly reliant on their Top 3. The opening duo of Dwayne Smith and Lendl Simmons are the best the men in maroon have to offer. Lendl might open alongside Dwayne, which will be best for their combination. To follow them could be William Perkins, who is a better batter than Denesh Ramdin, while the latter is a better wicketkeeper.

Middle Order 

West Indies’ middle order isn’t as good as their batters haven’t played a significant role in their team’s win. Brian Lara could bat at 4 as the opponent is strong with high stakes. Jonathan Carter and Kirk Edwards might bat at 5 and 6. The duo hasn’t shined with the bat so far. It could be their opportunity to step up and help their team’s cause against SA Masters.

Lower Middle Order 

In the lower middle order, West Indies has the likes of Ashley Nurse and Narsingh Deonarine. Nurse has been good as a batter and as a bowler. He’s one of the best players of the tournament so far. Likewise, Deonarine has been decent I’m his job and might have to be at his best for the West Indies Masters to stand any chance against the South Africa Masters.

Bowlers

The West Indian bowling attack is their biggest strength despite an off day against India Masters. Apart from Nurse and Deonarine, WI has the likes of Jerome Taylor, Tino Best, and Sulieman Benn. As a bowling unit, WI has been good. They would like to forget their outing against India Masters and focus on the task in their hands. Nurse will be key for the West Indies Masters in the middle overs.
