The conditions in caribbean offering the same as it is in subcontinent with the slowness and spinning, but the recent series in subcontinent haven't produced the turn to this extent and the slowness making it tougher to bat through the overs. While the contest of the series is up as spin making the rules, with Australia face on South Africa at Providence on Tuesday.
Smith have thought the performance should have been more clinical, but the win with a bonus point against Windies shows they are up with conditions to adapt the slowness. Where Warner continued his prolific form of IPL with an unbeaten fitfty, although earlier it was Zampa and Lyon who made easy road for the chase.
While Starc returned with some fire works early on and looked he hasn't loosed any rhythm, where he left with an Injury. Eventhough the batting needs some more depth in this conditions and Maxwell will be key in the middle order, as well as through the middle overs with the ball.
On the other side Proteas couldn't make use of the conditions with batting first against the hosts, where they lost wickets in a cluster at the end overs. But Tahir and Phangiso made life tough for the hosts, where the hosts almost lost the grip in chasing a par total.
So it's more about Batting from Proteas, where they seek to improve as an unit against in form Aussie. Although Duminy with the ball will be crucial as Aussies posses 2 left handed batsmen at the top and the middle order will be the determining factor for them.
Meanwhile Proteas may consider replacing Abbott with Morkel and Aussie will consider strengthening their middle order with bringing in Bailey, and also look to replace Hastings or Faulkner in place of Hazelwood.
While the pitch at Providence as been on the slower side with enough offering of spin in the previous encounter, it will get even tough for batsmen on Tuesday.
Australia may have won their previous encounter against Hosts, but the both sides struggled in spining and slowing conditions in earlier contests. So with the spinners of either sides taking the game away from the batsmen, the Contest lies on playing spin for the batsmen of either sides.
