WI vs IND 2nd Test Match Pitch Report
In contrast to the first Test at Dominica, where spin played a part and had a big say in the outcome of the game, this ground has favored the Pacers more over the last decade. With rain expected over the course of the match, it could dictate selection calls for both teams.
What to expect:
Team news:
West Indies: It is likely, given the conditions, that West Indies pick an extra pacer instead of two spinners which could pave the way back for Shannon Gabriel who was benched for the first game. Additionally, the toss-up for the lone spinner’s slot will be a toss-up between newbie Kevin Sinclair who has been picked with Rahkeem Cornwall staying on albeit a chest infection in the first Test. With Raymon Reifer dropped, they could also hand out a cap to Kirk McKenzie.
West Indies Key Players
- Kraigg Brathwaite
- Joshua Da Silva
- Jason Holder
- Alzarri Joseph
Probable XI: Kraigg Brathwaite, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Kirk McKenzie, Alick Athanaze, Jermaine Blackwood, Joshua Da Silva, Jason Holder, Kevin Sinclair/Rahkeem Cornwall, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Shannon Gabriel
West Indies Squad: Kraigg Brathwaite(c), Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Jermaine Blackwood, Alick Athanaze, Joshua Da Silva(w), Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Rahkeem Cornwall, Kemar Roach, Jomel Warrican, Shannon Gabriel, Kirk McKenzie, Kevin Sinclair
India: Having won the first Test handsomely, India isn’t hard-pressed to make any changes. R Ashwin’s performance in that game would all but rule out any thought of going in with a lone spinner. The choice for the third seamer though could still be up for debate with the likes of Navdeep Saini and Mukesh Kumar waiting on the sidelines.
India Key Players
- Rohit Sharma
- Yashasvi Jaiswal
- Virat Kohli
- Ravindra Jadeja
- R Ashwin
- Mohammad Siraj
Probable XI: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishan Kishan, R Ashwin, Shardul Thakur/Navdeep Saini, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammad Siraj

WI vs IND 2nd Test Match Prediction
Although India was far too good for West Indies last week, and has not lost to them in this format since 2002, the hosts will be keen to give a better account of themselves in this Test. West Indies have lost only one of their last seven Tests in Trinidad and we expect them to be competitive however, we are backing India to come out on top and to win this game.

Bowlers: Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Siraj
WI vs IND Top Batsmen in The 2nd Test Match
Kemar Roach, Jomel Warrican, and Rahkeem Cornwall are our bowling choices for West Indies. Warrican got the big wicket of the in-form Shubman Gill in the opening game of the series. Cornwall was the most consistent of all of West Indies’ bowlers in the First Test.
We recommend Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Siraj with the ball for India. Siraj took a wicket in each inning last week and impressed in spite of the pitch being more suited to the spinners. Ashwin took the final 5 wickets of the opening Test.
WI vs IND Top Bowlers in The 2nd Test Match
We are backing Kraigg Brathwaite, Alick Athanaze, and Tagenarine Chanderpaul with the bat for West Indies. Chanderpaul hit 12 and 7 in the First Test but still has a very useful Test Match average of 39.33. Brathwaite has scored 12 Test centuries.
Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Rohit Sharma are our batting picks for India. Gill made only 6 runs from 11 balls in Dominica but he has been in brilliant form across 2023 in all formats. Kohli scored a patient 76 runs from 182 balls in the First Test.
