West Indies vs India 2023: WI vs IND 2nd Test Preview, Playing XI, Live Streaming Details & Updates

West Indies and India are all set to continue their ongoing multi-format series with yet another Test match. Notably, India won the first Test in dominant fashion, winning the game by an innings and 141 runs, and the Rohit Sharma-led side will be keen on putting in a similar performance in the forthcoming game as well. 

It is worth noting that the second Test which will be played on July 20, at the Queen's Park Oval, in Trinidad and Tobago, will be the landmark 100th Test between West Indies and India as opponents. After a horrid showing in the first game, the fans will expect the hosts to show some character and improve on their performance from the series opener.

Team India put forth an excellent performance with both the bat and the ball in the first Test, whereby, the new opening partners, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored brilliant centuries, while on the bowling front, the veteran spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, brought the Windies’ batting lineup to its knees.

As the second Test approaches, it could be interesting to see if the West Indies are able to bounce back or if the Indian team will clinch the Test series and go on to the ODI matches on a positive note.

Pitch and conditions 

A typical Caribbean surface as witnessed in recent times where it is expected to be batter-friendly at the Queen’s Park Oval in the second Test of the ongoing series, with some assistance to the pacers and heavy help to the batters in the first two innings of the game.
