West Indies vs India, 2nd Test: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
West Indies and India are all set to square off against each other in the second of the two-match test series scheduled to take place between both teams. The Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, will be hosting this clash on Thursday, July 20.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, won the opening Test by an innings and 141 runs at the Windsor Park in Dominica. Yashasvi Jaiswal became the Player of the Match after he scored a sparkling century in his maiden Test match.
Ravi Ashwin also showed his class by picking up 12 wickets in the match, including a seven-wicket haul in the second innings. Skipper Rohit Sharma also scored a brilliant hundred in the first innings for the visiting team.
India, however, need to win the series 2-0 to keep alive their hopes of retaining their No.1 spot. If Australia win the Ashes by a margin of 4-1, they will be ranked the new No.1 team in the ICC rankings.
West Indies, led by Kraigg Brathwaite, in the meantime, made a change to their squad. They roped in Kevin Sinclair for Raymon Reifer, who was disappointing in the first Test.
