Australia vs West Indies Match Prediction
West Indies' tour to Australia had a disappointing commencement as they were defeated with dominating 164 runs by the home team. Now the 2nd and final test of this two match series will be played at Adelaide Oval. It's a day-night test match played with the pink ball. By winning this game, West Indies hopes to tie the series, while the Kangaroos are content with a win or a draw.
In the first match held at Perth Marnus Labuschagne was outstanding with a dominating performance. He smashed 204 and 104 in both the innings respectively. Steve Smith also crashed 200 runs in the first inning. Usman Khawaja also scored 65 runs in the first inning and Travis Head was a little unfortunate as he missed his century by just 1 run.
Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon did well in the bowling section as they grabbed 2 wickets each. In the second inning Lyon wrecked havoc with his bowling by picking as many as 6 wickets.
Kraigg Brathwaite was the only batsman from West Indies who scored 110 runs in second innings, except that no batsman managed to smack a ton against Australian fast bowlers. Debutant Tagenarine Chanderpaul also scored 51 runs in the first inning.
Australia vs West Indies Chances of Winning
Looking at Australia’s dominating performance in the first test, the team looks balanced and attacking. Team is overshadowing the guests in many ways. Australia will start off as favorites to win the 2nd Test against the visiting team and expect a clean sweep with 2-0. Australia has near about 76% chances of winning this game.
Our prediction
At the Oval ground Australia will surely smash the west indies team in the test and clean sweep the series with 2-0. Team is in good form and they have attacking players in both batting and bowling departments. At their home ground it's really tough to beat Australia.Since Kangaroos have many more advantages over the low experienced West Indies Team, we expect an outstanding victory for Australia. There are 15% chances of a draw as well but this will also be beneficial as per Australia’s point of view as they want to name the series.

Australia vs West Indies toss prediction
The first test match in Perth saw a lot of runs from both sides, and this second test is also anticipated to have high scoring due to the Adelaide Oval's reputation as a high-scoring venue in Australia. With the understanding that the day-night match team winning the toss may choose to bat first and take a significant lead, it may help pacers as well as spinners, particularly on the third and fourth day of the test.

At the start of day one the weather is expected to be sunny with 22 degree celsius but as that match progresses, on 3rd and 4th day there are more than 40% chances of rain. In these 5 days we may expect the temperature ranging between 20 to 22°C and Humidity will be ranging from 40 to 70%.
