India tour of West Indies 2023 weather update: Trinidad weather report for July 20-24 for 2nd IND vs WI Test
Team India will square off against the West Indies in the second Test at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad, starting on Thursday, July 20. The Men in Blue are currently 1-0 up in the two-match series and will look to inflict a whitewash over the Windies.
The visitors wrapped up the first Test within three days in Dominica. After bowling out the hosts for 150 runs in the first innings, India piled up 421/5, thanks to centuries from Rohit Sharma and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The Men in Blue then bowled out the hosts for 130 runs in the second innings to win the match by an innings and 141 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin starred with the ball, returning with 12 wickets in the match.
Team India will look to continue their winning momentum in the second Test in Trinidad and keep their winning run going in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
Rohit Sharma and Co. are unlikely to tinker with their winning combination, heading into the second Test. It will give the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan, and others to stake a claim in the red-ball side.
West Indies, on the other hand, have a lot of areas to improve on. They failed both with the bat and the ball and succumbed to an innings defeat. The Windies will look to come up with an improved performance and win the match to level the series.
