    What's the story

    Following the 1-1 drawn Test series, Australia are gearing up to host West Indies in a three-match ODI series, starting on February 2.

    It will be a stiff challenge for WI as they have not won an ODI against Australia in Australia in this century.

    While Shai Hope will lead the Caribbean team, Steve Smith will captain Australia.

    Here is the statistical preview.

    H2H 

    A look at the head-to-head record

    The two teams have crossed swords in 143 ODIs so far with the head-to-head record being 76-61 in Australia's favour.

    The tally includes three tied matches and as many abandoned games.

    WI's overall ODI record in Australia against Australia is decent as they have won 35 games and lost 41.

    However, their last win in this regard came in 1997.

    Information

    Australia last hosted WI in ODIs in 2013

    Notably, this will be WI's maiden ODI assignment Down Under since the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. The team last toured Australia for a bilateral ODI series in 2013. Hence, none of the players in the WI squad have played an ODI in Australia.
