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.
- Mark Chapman hit 67 of his 78 runs in boundaries (28 balls) in the 2nd T20I.
- Rovman Powell hit six sixes in his 16-ball 45 in the 2nd T20I.

New Zealand Form
New Zealand won their first match in five (two matches abandoned) when they beat the West Indies by three runs in the 2nd T20I to level the series 1-1.
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.
New Zealand Team News
New Zealand are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
West Indies Form
West Indies suffered their first defeat in five matches when they lost to New Zealand by three runs.
Rovman Powell scored a powerful 45 off 16 balls to begin the West Indies’ recovery from 74/4.
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
There are no injury reports from the West Indies squad.
Verdict
I am backing New Zealand to win. I am also backing Mark Chapman to top score for New Zealand.
Rovman Powell is a good bet to top score for the West Indies, while Shai Hope is looking set to score over 21.5 runs.
