Read Australia vs. West Indies 2nd Test: Expected Starting XIs, Score, Pitch Report, Weather, and Live Streaming Information. On Thursday, January 25, Australia and the West Indies will play their second and final Test match of the current series at The Gabba in Brisbane. Australia will be looking for a clean sweep as they lead the two-match series 1-0 after winning the opening game by a margin of ten wickets.
Adelaide Oval hosted the first Test match between the two sides. West Indies, batting first, managed just 188 runs before being bowled out in 62.1 overs thanks to four-wicket hauls from Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.
Before being bowled out in 81.1 overs, the hosts amassed 283 runs after taking a 95-run lead in the second inning. The most notable bowler was Shamar Joseph, who took five wickets on his debut. The second innings for the West Indies went horribly as they were only able to score 120 runs.
Hazlewood helped his team establish a low goal of 25 runs by going through the Windies’ lineup. In just 6.4 overs, Australia’s top-order batsmen achieved victory and established a 1-0 lead by chasing down the meager goal.
The hosts, who are strong favorites to win the match, will be coming off four straight Test triumphs. Three against Pakistan and the most recent one against the West Indies.
