Check out our prediction for the AUS vs WI 2nd Test at the National Cricket Stadium, St. George’s, Grenada.
After securing a dominating win in the first ODI, the Australian team has received a timely boost with the return of their stalwart batter, Steven Smith. The veteran right-hand batter missed the last Test due to a finger injury he sustained in the WTC Final against South Africa while dropping a sitter at the slips of the opposition skipper Temba Bavuma.
With Smith’s inclusion in the team, Australia’s batting unit will look even more formidable. Smith is all set to replace Josh Inglis at No. 4, a spot he has made his own in the Test lineup. Talking about their bowling, the pace trio of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc were on the money, especially in the second innings, where they bowled out the hosts in the post-tea session on Day 3.
Hazlewood was the pick of the bowlers in the second as the tall lad scalped yet another Test 5-fer. He took 5 for 43 in the second innings to derail West Indies’ chase and hand them a loss by 159 runs to go 1-0 up in the three-match Test series. With confidence booming, the Aussies will march into the second Test with their tails up.
Third Umpire Adrian Holdstock’s decision came under scrutiny in the first Test after multiple decisions went against the hosts. Coach Darren Sammy was outspoken about the controversial decisions made by the third umpire. However, despite being in the driver’s seat after the first innings, West Indies ended up losing the match. To add to their woes, Sammy was handed a fine by the ICC following the game.
Multiple decisions going against them cost West Indies dearly, and eventually they fell short in the first test. Now, they should look to realign themselves and focus on what’s next. In the second Test, the hosts should look to carry their aggressive approach with the ball, and at the same time, their batters should step up and score runs, because only bowling isn’t going to win them the match. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
