WI vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: West Indies vs Australia 2nd Test Fantasy Team, Captain, Vice-Captain Top Picks

WI vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: The West Indies will take on Australia in the second Test of the ongoing three-match series, beginning Thursday, July 2, at the National Cricket Stadium in St George's, Grenada.

After a spirited display in parts of the first Test in Barbados, the Roston Chase-led side will look to bounce back and level the series.

In the opening Test at Kensington Oval, the home team showed promising signs with the ball, especially in the first innings. Fast bowlers Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales dismantled the Australian batting lineup with fiery spells, taking four and five wickets respectively to dismiss the visitors for just 180. Travis Head stood tall amidst the collapse, scoring a valuable 59 after Australia had slumped to 22 for 3.

In response, West Indies gained a slim 10-run lead, thanks to useful contributions from skipper Roston Chase (44) and Shai Hope (48). However, Australia's top order faltered once again in their second outing, and the Caribbean bowlers had them on the ropes with four early wickets and only a modest lead of 55.

The visitors recovered through crucial half-centuries from Beau Webster, Alex Carey, and Head, allowing them to stretch their total beyond 300. Shamar Joseph remained impressive with another four-wicket haul.

Chasing 301 in the fourth innings, the West Indies batters faltered under pressure. The Australian bowlers, led by Josh Hazlewood's masterful five-wicket performance, maintained tight lines and lengths to dismantle the hosts for just 141. The 159-run win gave Australia a 1-0 advantage in the series.

With the action now shifting to Grenada, the West Indies will be eager to build on the positives from the first Test, particularly their bowling, and put up a stronger fight with the bat. Australia, meanwhile, will be looking to seal the series with another dominant display.
