Basseterre - West Indies won the toss and chose to field in the fourth one-day international against Australia at Warner Park here on Friday.
West Indies have made two changes to their line-up. They dropped Andre Fletcher and Sulieman Benn, and brought in Shawn Findlay and Nikita Miller to make their ODI debuts.
Australia made just one change, bringing David Hussey in for his ODI debut for their injured captain Ricky Ponting, whose stiff left wrist has sidelined him for the match, so that Michael Clarke will lead Australia for the first time in an ODI.
Australia have an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, after winning the opening match by 84 runs in St Vincent, the rain-affected second ODI last Friday by 63 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis Method, and the third ODI by seven wickets on Sunday.
