WI vs AUS Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – Australia Tour of West Indies, 2nd Test.

Match Preview

Australia made a great start to their campaign in the West Indies by winning the first test by a margin of 159 runs. They will be raring to win this second test and clinch the test series. The dismal batting performances by the West Indies batters in both innings will be a concern for the Caribbean management.

Steve Smith will return to the Australian team for this contest. He is likely to occupy the number four position in the Aussie batting order. The Aussie bowling attack, led by the skipper Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, will once again play a pivotal role in the Australian bowling department.
