Australia got their 2019 Cricket World Cup campaign off to the best possible start a few days ago with a comfortable win over Afghanistan – but the real tests start now.

The West Indies got their World Cup campaign off to the perfect start as well after crushing Pakistan in the second match of the tournament.

With the Windies showing glimpses of their dangerous best of late, there’s no doubt this is a massive danger game for the Aussies.

How do they avoid the upset against the plucky Caribbeans?

We looked over the match on our Game of Codes podcast with Roar cricket expert Geoff Lemon.

Listen to the discussion:

After a tumultuous year on the field in the absence of suspended captains Steve Smith and David Warner, the Aussies have found a rich vein of form just in time for the World Cup.

But the West Indies looked downright scary in their opening fixture against Pakistan, bowling them out for 105 in 21 overs before reaching that target in 13 overs with seven wickets to spare.
