New Zealand vs West Indies 3rd T20I Predictions - Chapman to crush West Indies attack again
In a gripping T20I match, New Zealand clinched a three-run victory over the West Indies to level the series. Mark Chapman was instrumental with a 28-ball 78, supported by effective contributions from Tim Robinson and Daryl Mitchell. Ish Sodhi stood out in the bowling department with critical wickets. Despite a valiant effort from Rovman Powell and late-game heroics from Romario Shepherd and Matthew Forde, the West Indies fell short. As both teams head into the next match, New Zealand appears unlikely to change their lineup, seeking consistency.

Tim Robinson put his domestic form to good use by getting the innings off to a flying start (39 off 25). Daryl Mitchell played a superb cameo (24* off 14), but it was Mark Chapman’s belligerent 28-ball 78 that took New Zealand past 200.
Ish Sodhi (3/39, econ 9.75) knocked over three of the West Indies top five to put the visitors under huge pressure.

Romario Shepherd (34 off 16) and Matthew Forde (29* off 13) hit nine boundaries off their 29 balls as they added 47 in under three overs to take the West Indies to the verge what would have been a miraculous victory.
West Indies Team News

I am backing New Zealand to win. I am also backing Mark Chapman to top score for New Zealand.
