WI vs AUS 2nd Test Match Preview

The West Indies and Australia face off in the second Test on July 3, 2025, at Grenada National Cricket Stadium. After a solid 159-run win in the first Test on June 25, Australia will be looking to wrap up the series. The West Indies haven't been that consistent, even with a T20 victory against Ireland on June 15; they've lost three of their last five. Australia's Test team is generally strong, but they did have some losses in the ICC Championship Trophy recently. It should be interesting to see how Australia's fast bowlers do against the West Indies on their home turf, with the series up for grabs.

WI vs AUS

Weather and Pitch Report

Weather: Expect mostly cloudy skies with temps between 27 and 31°C. No rain is expected, and winds will be light (around 5 m/s). Should be perfect for playing without interruptions.

Pitch: The pitch in Grenada should be pretty fair. Batters can expect consistent bounce, and there might be a bit of seam movement early in the game. Spin bowlers might find it tough unless they can use rough spots that develop later.

West Indies vs Australia head-to-head

Australia's been bossing West Indies in Test cricket lately, winning four of the last five games they've played. In the first Test of this series (June 25), Australia hammered West Indies by 159 runs – Pat Cummins took 5 wickets and just destroyed them. The only Test West Indies won in their last five was against Ireland, which shows they struggle against the big teams.

West Indies vs Australia: Players to Keep an Eye On Today

Top Batter (Kraigg Brathwaite):

The West Indies captain is super dependable at the start. He scores 42 on average in home Tests. If he can handle Australia's fast bowlers, it'll set the tone for the rest of the team.

Top Bowler (Pat Cummins):

Australia's captain grabbed 5 wickets for 38 runs in the first Test. With his seam and smart tactics, he's the main danger to the West Indies' shaky batting lineup.

X-Factor (Shamar Joseph):

This young West Indies bowler hit speeds of over 145 kph in the first Test. His raw speed and swing could really bother Australia's middle order.

WI vs AUS Today's Match Prediction

Aussie's gonna win today. They've got a 70-30 advantage because their fast bowlers(Cummins, Starc, and Hazlewood) are better. Plus, they've been doing great recently. Watch out for Aussie batsmen Smith and Labuschagne against the West Indies' fast bowlers Shamar and Alzarri Joseph. Also, the West Indies' middle order, Hope and Chase, will have to deal with Nathan Lyon's spin. If the West Indies' openers can just hold on at the start, they might actually give Australia a run for their money.

Match Analysis:

Ascores says Australia's strong bowling plus batting lineup makes them likely to win. For the West Indies to win, Shamar Joseph needs to bowl really well, and Brathwaite needs to hold strong. But their batting is spotty and they lack a great spinner, so Australia will probably win most of the time, even though the West Indies might have some exciting moments.

Toss Prediction:

The captain who wins the toss will probably choose to bowl first to take advantage of the moisture and clouds in the morning. But if the pitch is good, West Indies might want to bat first to put some pressure on, since they need to win.

WI vs AUS Final Result Prediction:

Australia will probably win, wrapping up the series 2-0. Their fast bowlers and strong batting lineup with Smith and Labuschagne should be too much for West Indies to handle. Expect them to win by over 100 runs or with at least 6 wickets to spare.
