Cricket Prediction | Australia vs West Indies | 2nd Test | Jan 25– Will the host AUS be able to whitewash WI?

AUS vs WI Match Analysis

Australia and the West Indies will play their second and final Test match of the series on Thursday afternoon at the Gabba in Brisbane. Last week’s Test match in Adelaide was lopsided; it was finished in three days, with Australia winning by ten wickets. It starts at 14:00 local time in the match.

Australia looked uncomfortable at times throughout the First Test, but they were still able to win by a significant margin. They will be quite sure that they can win the series 2-0 since they are very good at the Gabba.

The West Indies’ bowling display in Adelaide won them a lot of praise, and a few runs more at bat may have made the Test far closer. They will, however, be aware that they are in for a very difficult few days of Test cricket when they arrive in Brisbane.

AUS vs WI Team Preview & Squads

Australia

Few predicted this experienced West Indian team to defeat Australia at home, and thus far the outcomes have been expected. Australia is the favorite to win the series in Brisbane after coasting to a 10-wicket victory in Adelaide.

The home team has been struggling with batting inconsistencies, and Travis Head’s remarkable counterattacking century was a major factor in keeping them out of the embarrassing opening innings of the most recent Test. Head has performed admirably in recent months, and he ought to carry that form into the Final Test.

Even though Steven Smith struggled in his first game as the new opener, we still think the legendary Test batsman will make an impact. Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Marsh are our other two choices for impact hitters.

Australia’s primary strength has been their bowling attack, which is more than capable of dismantling any batting lineup in the globe. In the first Test, Josh Hazlewood scored a career-high ninety-nine runs (9-79), and he is playing with excellent rhythm. Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins were also among the wickets. In the forthcoming game, these three are anticipated to take most of the wickets.

Australia Squads

Pat Cummins (c), Alex Carey (wk), Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc/ Scott Boland, Nathan Lyon, Travis Head, and Josh Hazlewood.

West Indies

There was a moment in the first Test match when it seemed the West Indies were going to get ahead, with Australia failing to reach 168-6 after their first innings total of 188. Regretfully, they were unable to maintain momentum and ultimately lost the game.

The guests can still learn a lot from their performance, though. Kirk McKenzie, to start, demonstrated his batting prowess at No. 3, amassing a tenacious fifty in the opening innings. At number eleven, Shamar Joseph also showed a lot of guts and will probably go up the batting order.

Despite his dismal Test performance, we anticipate the captain to take the lead in Brisbane with Kraigg Brathwaite. In his last ten games, he has amassed 655 runs at an average of 36.39. An additional player to watch out for is Tagenarine Chanderpaul, who has scored 535 runs at a strike average of 35.67 in the last 9 games.

Shamar Joseph stood out among the bowlers, recording 5-94 in his first Test match. Though he still has a way to go, the young fast bowler is an interesting prospect to watch. The squad is counting on Alzarri Joseph to take early wickets, and he has taken 30 wickets in the last ten games. Therefore, he needs to improve.

AUS vs WI outfield report

The Gabba, Brisbane

In Adelaide, Pat Cummins stunned a few commentators by opting to field first after winning the toss. We anticipate that both captains, should they win the toss, would opt to bat first because the batting conditions are expected to be at their best on Day 1.

Day 1 appears to be dry and sunny, but rain and thunderstorms are possible during the next few days. It will be muggy, with daily temperatures near or approaching 30 degrees.

The Gabba surface is well-known for its bat-friendly surface, as well as its pace and carry. It normally begins at the end of Day 2.
