WI vs NZ Preview

• The four ODI series West Indies have played at home so far have all been victories.
• While New Zealand has 100 points after 11 games in the ICC Championship, West Indies has 90 points from 23 games.
• In the last 10 ODIs, New Zealand has an 8-2 win-loss record against West Indies.

 

The third and final ODI match between West Indies and New Zealand takes place at the Kensington Oval on Sunday, capping out the three-match series. The rain-interrupted game on Friday was won by New Zealand by 50 runs, tying the series at 1-1. At 14:00 local time, the third ODI begins in Bridgetown, Barbados.

On Friday, Tim Southee and Trent Boult’s skilled and impressive bowling completely dismantled the hosts’ top order. If they want to compete for the victory in this game, they will need to discover a solution for the pair.

By following up their victory on Wednesday, New Zealand got their victory right away, and New Zealand demonstrated why they are one of the top international teams out there. The visitors have a good starting lineup and depth throughout their roster.

WI vs NZ Match Toss Prediction

In each of the series’ games thus far, West Indies has opted to field first. We anticipate that both teams would prefer to bowl first before this final ODI because of the cloudy skies and humidity.

WI vs NZ Pitch Report

Because the pitch at Kennington Oval is a little slower than average, batters must work hard to make significant runs on it. Neither side has surpassed the milestone of 210 runs in the current series. In this match, we predict that the scores will range from 220-240 runs.
