WI vs NZ Preview
- In the opening game of the series, which was contested at Sabina Park, New Zealand defeated West Indies after a valiant effort.
- For New Zealand, the team’s captain Kane Williamson, wicketkeeper Devon Conway, and spinner Mitchell Santner all delivered outstanding performances.
- For the West Indies in a futile effort, Shamarh Brooks, Odean Smith, and Romario Shepherd delivered respectable efforts.
On Friday afternoon in Jamaica, West Indies and New Zealand line up for the second of their three IT20 matches. The visitors successfully defended their total of 185-5 when the series started on Wednesday in the afternoon. West Indies could only score 172-7 in response. At 13:30, the second game of the series begins at Sabina Park.
Similar problems to those we witnessed against India earlier this month plagued West Indies in the opening game of the series. They are losing too many of their top-order hitters for them to generate a significant enough total.
Without some of their great players, New Zealand performed admirably on their tour of Western Europe, but on Wednesday, they appeared to be a genuine elite team. We anticipate that all of their batters will play responsibly and fiercely during this game.

West Indies Team News & Probable Playing XIs
It may be time to keep a stable team in place before the World Cup after West Indies shuffled and changed its lineup during the most recent home IT20 series with Bangladesh and India. Although Brandon King will be attempting to rejoin the team, we anticipate no changes for the hosts.

New Zealand Team News & Probable Playing XIs
For the first game of the series, the Black Caps welcomed back their star players, and their starting lineup for the T20 World Cup in two months will be remarkably similar. Although Lockie Ferguson frequently takes a break, we anticipate that the management will want to gradually increase his workload and that the team will remain the same for this game.

New Zealand is the favorite to win this match.
Although West Indies has a collection of quality players, the main challenge right now is getting them to produce consistently. The 2022 T20 World Cup may be a little too soon for them, despite the fact that they will desire to compete. We are supporting New Zealand to win the second IT20 since they have impressed us greatly in recent weeks.
