Australia are eyeing a Caribbean clean sweep as a packed seven months of cricket comes to a close
Lucy Hamilton has been called into the Australia XI as the tourists bowl first in pursuit of an ODI series clean sweep in St Kitts.
West Indies captain Hayley Matthews won the toss and elected to set the Australians a target at Warner Park, with the hosts hunting their first win of the white-ball tour.
Australia XI: Georgia Voll, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney (wk), Ashleigh Gardner, Nicola Carey, Tahlia McGrath (c), Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Lucy Hamilton, Darcie Brown
West Indies XI: Hayley Matthews (c), Chinelle Henry, Jahzara Claxton, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Jannillea Glasgow, Realeanna Grimmond, Ashmini Munisar, Karishma Ramharack, Shunelle Sawh (wk), Stafanie Taylor
Tahlia McGrath is again standing in as Aussie captain, with medical staff opting to take the cautious route with usual skipper Sophie Molineux.
Molineux played as a specialist batter through the first four matches of the tour due to a back injury, gaining valuable leadership experience having taken over from Alyssa Healy, but is now turning her attention to a return to bowling and full fitness ahead of the T20 World Cup in June.
Left-arm quick Hamilton has come into the XI for her second ODI appearance, replacing Kim Garth, while Darcie Brown has returned in place of Megan Schutt.
West Indies have made two changes, dropping opener Qiana Joseph and wicketkeeper Shemaine Campbelle in place of Realeanna Grimmond alongside debutant ‘keeper Shunelle Sawh.
