New Zealand is looking to bounce back in their ongoing series against West Indies after an unexpected defeat, breaking their string of victories against England. Despite their current form, experts are backing New Zealand to leverage their strong top-order talent and win the series 2-1. Key New Zealand players to watch include Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, and Tim Robinson. Meanwhile, West Indies players Shai Hope and Jayden Seales are tipped as crucial to their team's victory chances. Both teams are expected to field unchanged line-ups.

New Zealand vs West Indies Predictions


After beating England in four whiteball matches in a row at home New Zealand uncharacteristically failed to fire against the West Indies. New Zealand’s top-order has plenty of talent, so I’m backing that to be a one-off, with the home side to come good in the next two matches to take the series 2-1.

  • New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell has hit eight half-centuries in 78 T20I innings.
  • New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra has scored 54, 46 & 21 in his last 3 innings.
  • West Indies’ Shai Hope has scored 103, 53*. 46*, 55 & 53 in his last 5 innings.
  • West Indies’ Roston Chase has scored 50 & 28 in his last 2 innings.

Head-to-Head


New Zealand have won two and lost three of their last five matches against West Indies, although the Caribbean Kings have won the last three on the bounce.

New Zealand Form


New Zealand suffered their third defeat in five T20Is when they lost to the West Indies by 7 runs. 

Devon Conway hasn’t scored a half-century for four innings, having scored 59*, 47, 88 & 153 in his previous six innings. He’s definitely due for runs and I’d back him to reach 50 at Auckland (4.00).

Tim Robinson has one T20I century already in 17 innings (ave 30.92). He started well in the 1st T20I, scoring 27 off 21 balls on the back of good List A form for Wellington (45, 50, 113).  He scored a magnificent 106* against Australia at the start of October, so I’d back him to score 30+ runs (2.10), with a good chance of pushing on to 50+ (3.75).
   

New Zealand Team News


There are no injury reports from the New Zealand squad. 

West Indies Form


West Indies made it five wins from their last five matches when they beat New Zealand by seven runs.

Shai Hope is going through a glorious patch with the bat, and has hit three-plus sixes in each of his last three innings. 

Jayden Seales has been economical and a strike-force in his last four whiteball matches, taking 3/48, 3/32, 0/30 & 3/32. He’s a good bet to take 2+ wickets in the 2nd T20I (3.25).

West Indies Team News


West Indies are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. 

Verdict

I am backing New Zealand to win. I am also backing Daryl Mitchell to top score for New Zealand.

Shai Hope is a good bet to top score for the West Indies.
