The second match of the Australia tour of West Indies 2025 is set to light up the Sabina Park in Kingston on July 22. After a gripping series opener, both teams will be determined to sharpen their strategies and seize an early advantage in the tour.
West Indies bring a potent blend of youth and experience, with captain Shai Hope leading a squad packed with dynamic batting firepower and versatile all-rounders. Evin Lewis, Brandon King, and Shimron Hetmyer bolster the top order, while the likes of Andre Russell, Jason Holder, and Romario Shepherd provide depth and explosive finishing capability. A varied spin and pace attack led by Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein gives the hosts multiple wicket-taking options at home.
Australia, under Mitchell Marsh’s leadership, arrive with an exciting mix of established stars and emerging talents. The likes of Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green anchor the middle order, while Jake Fraser-McGurk and Mitchell Owen inject fresh energy at the top. Adam Zampa’s spin will be crucial in Caribbean conditions, complemented by seamers like Sean Abbott and Nathan Ellis.

Sabina Park Pitch Report:
Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, typically offers a lively pitch with plenty of bounce and pace in the early stages, giving fast bowlers the edge at the start of the match. As play progresses, the surface tends to become more favourable for batting, especially in T20 cricket, allowing batters to play their shots more freely. Spinners can find some assistance as the game wears on, but the ground’s short boundaries and generally high-scoring nature work in favour of aggressive stroke-makers. The quick outfield at Sabina Park further rewards attacking play. Given the possibility of dew and the venue’s reputation for thrilling second-innings run chases, captains who win the toss might prefer to bowl first.
