WI vs AUS Dream11 Prediction Today, 2nd Test: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Playing XI, and Pitch Report

Sandip Pawar

Fantasy tips for the 2nd Test between West Indies and Australia.

Australia (AUS) will look to complete a clean sweep over West Indies (WI) when the two teams lock horns in the second Test. The action will unfold at National Cricket Stadium in St George’s, Grenada.

The hosts will rue their performance in the first Test, where they had multiple opportunities to dominate the match but eventually lost by 159 runs. Jayden Seales bagged a five-for in the first innings while Shamar Joseph claimed nine wickets in the match.

Australia had a lucky escape in the season opener thanks to Travis Head, who hit twin fifties on a challenging pitch. They had lost four for 65 in the second innings before Head, Alex Carey, and Beau Webster hit fifties. Josh Hazlewood picked a five-for in the fourth innings to seal the game. 

WI vs AUS Predictions: Probable Playing XIs

West Indies: Kraigg Brathwaite, Kevlon Anderson, Keacy Carty, Brandon King, Justin Greaves, Roston Chase (c), Shai Hope (wk), Johann Layne, Jomel Warrican, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales.

Australia: Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Josh Inglis, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
