The second Test between West Indies and Australia is set to unfold at the National Cricket Stadium in St George's, Grenada on Thursday, July 3, starting at 7:30 PM IST. With the visitors leading 1-0 in the three-match series, both teams will be heading into this clash with contrasting goals, Australia aiming for a series win, while the hosts look to bounce back from a demoralizing defeat.

Australia

The Aussies, riding high on confidence, will enter Grenada with momentum firmly on their side. After a dominant win in Barbados, they are now unbeaten in four of their last five Tests and have already claimed victories over top sides like India and Sri Lanka earlier. Australia will now aim to seal the series and test bench strength before the final match.

West Indies

The West Indies, meanwhile, are in damage control mode. Their batting collapse in both innings in the first Test highlighted familiar frailties, especially against pace. All eyes will also be on how they respond to the Aussie attack as they have pride and series parity on the line in Grenada.

How Will The National Cricket Stadium Pitch in Grenada Behave?

The pitch at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada has historically favoured teams batting second, with most of the matches won by sides chasing. The surface typically offers help to bowlers early on, especially seamers. Spinners might get some purchase after Day 2.  

With just four Tests played here, it remains a venue where discipline and patience are key with the bat, and captains winning the toss may prefer to bowl first.

Players To Watch Out For In WI vs AUS 2nd Test

West Indies

Jayden Seales

Jayden Seales impressed with a five-wicket haul in the first innings of the Barbados Test, showcasing his ability to exploit helpful conditions. With growing confidence and rhythm, Seales will look to build on his 6-wicket match haul in the Grenada Test.

Shamar Joseph

Shamar Joseph was the standout bowler in the series opener, claiming 9 wickets across both innings with sharp pace and accuracy. His strike rate of 27.00 highlights his ability to pick wickets at crucial junctures and put the opposition under pressure.

Alzarri Joseph

Although Alzarri Joseph hasn’t found consistent success recently, his raw pace and bounce make him a key asset on Caribbean pitches. He has shown glimpses of form with a couple of wickets against England in T20Is, and is capable of turning games with short bursts.

Australia

Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins led from the front with a tight spell in the second innings, finishing with 3 wickets in the match. His exceptional control, highlighted by an economy of just 1.96, helped build pressure and choke West Indies' scoring.

Travis Head

Travis Head delivered with back-to-back fifties in the first Test, scoring 59 and 61 at a brisk strike rate of nearly 70. With a solid average of 60.00 in the series so far, Head is Australia’s batting pillar heading into the second Test.

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc impressed with 4 wickets in the series opener, using swing and pace to dismantle the Windies top and lower order. His knack for producing breakthroughs in both new and old ball spells adds depth to Australia's bowling.
