West Indies will battle it out with Australia in the second Test on Thursday, July 03. The visitors have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series and are now looking to seal the series in Grenada. Australia is also bolstered by the return of Steven Smith, who has recovered from the finger injury he sustained during the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against South Africa in Lord's. The visitors have named their playing XI, with only one change, with Smith coming in for Josh Inglis.
On the other hand, the hosts must be ruing of letting a golden opportunity slip away after having the Aussies under the pump in the first innings. The hosts were guilty of dropping as many as seven catches. Against a quality side like Australia, West Indies need to cash in on the opportunities.
