The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is the venue, as the start time of the match is 9:30 AM. What are your India vs West Indies 2nd Test Winner Predictions?
This is the last test match between the sides as it is a two-match series. India is already leading 1-0. India won the first match by an innings and 140 runs. KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Dhruv Jurel scored centuries, whereas Mohammed Siraj picked up a total of seven wickets in the match. Eventually, Ravindra Jadeja was the Man of the Match for his all-round performance.
India vs West Indies 2nd Test Winner Predictions
The current form of the West Indies team will again be humiliated by the Indian team. Surely, in their previous matches, they have hardly scored 200 runs in an innings, but it just requires one match to regain confidence. Imagine defeating India at their home will boost so much confidence. At this moment, this seems next to impossible with the form Indian players are in. We are predicting India to win the second test match and the series 2-0.
Head-to-head in test matches: India vs West Indies
Both India and the West Indies have faced off 84 times in the test match format. Looking at the way this West Indies team is performing, the head-to-head record might shock you. The West Indies has won more, as they have won 30 times out of 84, whereas India has won just 20 times. A total of 34 matches ended in a draw.
The last time the West Indies won a match and a series against India was in 2022, which is 23 years ago. Since then, they have lost nine series against India, and probably this might be the 10th series, which is shocking for a team like them that dominated cricket at one stage.

India vs West Indies 2nd Test: Pitch report
There is a black soil wicket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, which surely offers a lot to the batters. The captain who wins the toss will want to bat first, as the first two days will make it easy for the batters to score runs. Later in the game, the spinners will also have a role to play. The fast bowlers need to use the new ball smartly as it will provide swing.
