Consider the group with following presentation,
$$G=\langle s,t : s^2=1, (st)^{3}=1\rangle$$
Is this group finite or infinite?
I tried to manipulate the relations and could only get $(ts)^3=1$. I don't know how to proceed further. Any hints?

Hint: Instead of taking $s$ and $t$ as generators, take $s$ and $st$ as generators. How else can you describe the group then?
