WI vs AUS – Here, the ESPALACE team is going to inform you like Preview, H2H, Playing 11, Live Scorecard, Live Streaming and all other important points of the match.

Preview

It’s quite something when you think about the names in the playing XI from that Test 14 years ago, and then about Roach still plying his trade a decade-and-a-half later. Despite the West Indies having gone down by an innings, that team still had the likes of Chris Gayle, as captain, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin and Jerome Taylor. It only emphasises even more if anything how drastic and dramatic the downturn has been, even in those 14 years, in terms of the West Indies being competitive in Australian conditions, with Roach potentially the last of the remnants from that era. To see the West Indies doing their catching drills with a five-prong slip cordon on Tuesday therefore was a lovely throwback to when they were the dominant force and the Gabba was one of their dens away from home.

Having said that, the West Indians have arrived in Brisbane on the back of a Test in Adelaide where they did have more impressive moments than a lot of people expected them to. And you could see the two Australian openers, Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith, acknowledge that in the way they prepared in the nets for the upcoming challenge at the Gabba.

Khawaja seemed very keen on getting batting coach Michael di Venuto to test him out with the kind of full delivery that he got out to in the first innings, and also the sharp short ball from Shamar Joseph that hit him on the helmet and led to him retiring hurt. Smith meanwhile spent a lot of his lengthy batting stints on both days focusing on more leaving deliveries than usual after having fallen prey to young Joseph’s first delivery in Test cricket last week. And the Aussie vice-captain was also full of praise for the way the West Indian bowlers had gone about their work in the first Test. If only their batters had chipped in enough to make it count.

It won’t get any easier in Brisbane as they face Australia in a genre of Test that Pat Cummins and his team have never been beaten in. And the home team will walk on to the Gabba confidently on the back of their 11-0 record in pink-ball Tests, even if it’s at a venue that’s not Adelaide for the first time in 5 years.

WI vs AUS Match winner Prediction

While AUS batting form and spin bowling are impressive, I slightly favor AUS to win the match. Their home advantage, explosive batting potential, and experienced bowling attack might give them the edge. However, it’s definitely going to be a nail-biter, and I wouldn’t be surprised if WI pulls off an upset!

Remember: This is just a prediction based on current information. The actual outcome can be different, so stay tuned for the thrilling match and enjoy!
