TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
Mitchell Santner and his men have the momentum going into this game. From conceding an early lead to leading now in the series, the hosts have made a strong comeback. The batting lineup looks in good shape, and the team will look to take advantage of it. The West Indies can be a tough nut to crack in this format, and Santner would like a strong effort from his players.
Tim Robinson and Devon Coway batted well in the last game, and the pair will look to deliver a strong start. Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and Michael Bracewell make the middle order formidable, and the team expects partnerships between them. James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, and Mitchell Hay add firepower to the batting in the lower middle order.
On the bowling front, the side would like early breakthroughs from Kyle Jamieson and Jacpn Duffy. Mitchell Santner and Mitchel Bracewell bowled match-winning spells in the last game, and they will look to repeat the same. Ish Sodhi and James Neesham must do well as the West Indies batters will take them on.

Shai Hope and his team will be under pressure in this game. The side has fallen behind with back-to-back losses. It was a poor show from their top order that cost them dearly in the last game. The bowling attack also failed to execute its plans. With their backs against the wall, the West Indies skipper would like a strong comeback from his players to level the series and keep hopes alive.
Amir Jangoo went out cheaply in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from him and Alick Athanaze. Shai Hope must lead from the front and add runs in the middle order with Sherfane Rutherford and Ackeem Auguste. The team has firepower in the lower middle order and expects runs from Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, and Romario Shepherd.
The bowling attack has struggled in the last two games. The team expects a strong start from Akeal Hosein and Matthew Forder to put the hosts under pressure. Romario Shepherd and Alick Athanaze must keep the scoring in check with wickets in the middle overs. The side will need Jason Holder and Shamar Springer to deliver the goods in the supporting role.
