AUS vs WI Key battles:

Sam Konstas vs Shamar Joseph

Sam Konstas will continue to open the innings for Australia in the second Test against Australia and will look to get a big score under his belt after missing out to do so in the first match.

Konstas will be up against Shamar Joseph, who was the pick of the bowlers for the West Indies in the first game.

Alex Carey vs Jayden Seales

Left-handed wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey played a crucial role in guiding the team to what eventually proved to be a winning total in the second innings and will look to do the same in the upcoming game

Carey will face the challenge of Jayden Seales, who picked up a five-wicket haul in the first innings and played a crucial role in bowling Australia out for less than 200 runs.

Kraigg Brathwaite vs Pat Cummins

West Indies former Test skipper Kraigg Brathwaite is the most experienced batter in the team and would be itching to get a substantial score in the second game.

Brathwaite will go head-to-head against the Australian captain Pat Cummins, who bowled well in the previous match.

Roston Chase vs Nathan Lyon

Newly appointed skipper of the Windies, Roston Chase, tried his best to guide the team to a respectable total in the first innings but failed to do so.

Chase would look at the second Test as an opportunity to make a statement through his performance with the bat.

Chase will have to tackle the off-spin of Nathan Lyon, who has been an integral part of Australia's bowling lineup for many years.
