It was a cakewalk for Team India in the first test against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The hosts pummeled the men from the Caribbean quite easily by an innings and 140 runs. The two teams are now all set to collide in the nation’s capital for the second and final Test of the series on October 10. The hosts would be eyeing a clean sweep, whereas the visitors would look to avoid the same, which looks unrealistic given the form they are in. In this post, we have come up with free expert tips for the 2nd Test Match, IND vs WI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
India and West Indies are no match in Test cricket, particularly when India plays at home. After the way they demolished the Caribbean side, the Indian team would be looking to translate the same in the second Test as well. Therefore, the win probability meter will favor the hosts, India, in this contest. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the 2nd Test Match, IND vs WI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
IND: 89% win chance WI: 11% win chance
The Indian skipper had a magnificent time in the test series in England and started off this series with a fifty in the only inning he batted. Expect him to be among runs again.
The Indian opener is fresh off a 100 in the last game. The senior pro was magnificent in England and will look to dominate in the remaining innings in this series.
The young Indian opener is due of a ton in this series. He has scored tons in almost every Test series he has played. Therefore, expect him to score big in this match.
The West Indies wicket-keeper batter is also their senior batter. He looked in good touch in the last game and will be hungry to score big in this match.
Check out our prediction for the IND vs WI 2nd Test match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
Team India is under a major transition in red-ball cricket, but so far, it has been so good for the team. An inning and 140-run victory in the opening game narrated a story of sheer dominance for the hosts. After what transpired in the opening game of the series, the hosts will look to continue from where they left off in the last game and secure yet another dominating win.
As far as the combinations for the second Test are concerned, head coach Gautam Gambhir is known for taking unorthodox and out-of-the-box calls. He is one of those minds who can go for changes even in one of the most settled elevens. After a dominant display in the opening game from the hosts, the team management might look to rest Jasprit Bumrah to manage his workload.
In that case, Prasidh Krishna might get a nod in the eleven, as he is the only pacer available on the bench in the current squad. Whether there are changes or not for the second game, Team India will start as the extreme favorites to secure a clean sweep in this series.
West Indies looked clueless in the first Test in Ahmedabad. They face a daunting challenge as they gear up for the second Test against India, starting October 10 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. After a dominant performance by India in the first Test, the visitors must regroup quickly to stay competitive.
West Indies’ batting lineup struggled against both pace and spin in the series opener, and they’ll need significant improvement to withstand India’s relentless attack. Captain Roston Chase will be under pressure to lead from the front, while the middle order must find ways to counter India’s bowling depth. With India’s top order in sublime form and their bowlers firing in unison, West Indies will need a near-perfect performance to pull off a win. It’s a steep climb, but not impossible if they show grit and discipline. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
