The 2nd Test of the ongoing Australia tour of West Indies 2025 will start on July 3 in Grenada. The Caribbean nation has played host to only four Test matches since its maiden Test in 2002. England have played here twice while the likes of New Zealand and Bangladesh have played a Test match each. Australia have not played a Test at this venue but they last played an ODI way back in 2008.
The Aussies did play against Trans-Tasman rivals, New Zealand during the ODI World Cup 2007. Meanwhile, the former Test champions are looking to take an unassailable lead in the three-match Test series. They are leading the series 1-0, which was expected. Steve Smith, who got injured during the WTC Final last month, has recovered and is expected to play in what has been a fragile batting line-up.
Both teams have a fragile batting lineup and expect a low-scoring Test match, which might end on Sunday, which is the fourth day of the match.
