The second ODI between West Indies and Australia is set to take place at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
PREVIEW
Windies are no pushovers. Although they couldn’t muster a fight with the bat, Kieron Pollard and co. impressed in patches. They will bank on Hayden Walsh, who has tormented the Aussies in the last few matches, to come up with the goods as they seek a series-leveling win.
Australian outfit thumped them in the first game. While Mitchell Starc was the star of the show with a fifer, stand-in captain Alex Carey also came up with a valuable fifty. Australia will eye a series win with the likes of Mitchell Marsh and Josh Hazlewood in good form.
Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is slightly on the slower side, with the batsmen having to bide their time in the middle before going big.
