Team India eye Test whitewash as they take on Windies in Hyderabad

India and West Indies are set to go head to head in the 2nd and final Test of the two match series in Hyderabad starting from Friday. Team India go into this game as the favourites.

Date and Time : 12th-16th October 2018, 9:30 AM IST

Venue : Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad

India won the first Test comprehensively and are in a great form. They will look to finish off the series in Hyderabad. Batting and Bowling both came good in Rajkot.

If India can manage to keep the same performance in Hyderabad, then they will be unstoppable. They though should not be complacent and play their best cricket.

On the other hand, West Indies will look to bounce back and draw the series if they could. They know it will be tough but cricket is an unpredictable game.

The Windies lacked in every department in Rajkot and any repeat of that performance would mean disaster. They will have to play out of their skins and hope for the best.

India have been doing well against The Windies in recent times and will look to continue the good work.

Team news and possible line-ups

Kemar Roach is available for the West Indies for the 2nd Test and will play.

As for India, They will likely retain the same playing XI as in the first Test match.

West Indies XI : K. Brathwaite (C), Powell, S. Hope, Hetmyer, R. Chase, Dowrich (WK), Ambris, D. Bishoo, K. Paul, S. Gabriel, K. Roach.

India XI : V. Kohli (C), KL Rahul, P. Shaw, C. Pujara, A. Rahane, R. Pant (WK), R. Ashwin, R. Jadeja, M. Shami, U. Yadav, K. Yadav.

Prediction

I expect India to win this Test match and win the series 2-0.
