Australia crushed West Indies by 133 runs at the St George’s in Grenada in the second Test to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Defending 277 runs on Day 4, Australian fast bowlers Mitchell Starc (3-24) and Josh Hazlewood (2-33) picked up five West Indies wickets between them while legendary off-spinner Nathan Lyon (3-42) snared three off his own towards the very end.

Despite Australia’s dominant outing, the spotlight was briefly stolen at one stage of the match by an unexpected pitch invader, a playful dog that brought the action to a light-hearted halt.

Australia Hammer WI To Seal Series

Australia won the second Test by 133 runs to seal the series by a match to spare. Resuming the innings at 221-7 on Day 4, Australia managed to add just 22 runs to their overnight total to get bowled out for 243 in 71.3 overs. Steve Smith and Cameron Green both listed cunning half-centuries for the visitors.

Defending 277 for a win, Australian fast bowlers Mitchell Starc picked up three wickets to unfurl the spell of the innings with figures of 3-24. Josh Hazlewood and captain Pat Cummins also chipped in with crucial wickets before Nathan Lyon polished off the West Indies tail.

The third West Indies vs Australia Test will take place in Kingston between July 12 and July 16.
