NZ vs WI Betting Tips
Daryl Mitchell to score Over 32.5 runs
Daryl Mitchell is New Zealand’s best batsman this year and has scored at least 33 runs in 8 of his last 9 innings, including 4 half-centuries and a century. He scored a half-century during his last appearance at this venue, and we are backing him to play another good knock.
Total runs before fall of 1st wicket - Under 19.5
The West Indies is likely to open its batting with John Campbell and Alick Athanaze. Campbell hasn’t played much white-ball cricket in recent years and is likely to struggle against New Zealand’s fierce pace attack.

NZ vs WI Team Previews
New Zealand
New Zealand’s good form from the T20s has spilled over to the ODIs as well, as they won the first match on Sunday comfortably. They will now hope to continue playing in the same way and claim the series.
Daryl Mitchell continues to be in excellent form and scored a brilliant century on Sunday to help his team post a competitive total despite losing early wickets. Rachin Ravindra’s prolonged lull in form remains a concern for the team, but is partly offset by Devon Conway’s dependable performance at the top of the order.
In addition, the Black Caps have a couple of solid batsmen in the form of Tom Latham and Will Young, while the all-rounders, Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell, add depth to the batting.
New Zealand is likely to include as many as four frontline seamers for this game, including Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Jacob Duffy, and Zakary Foulkes. Santner and Bracewell will lead the spin attack.
New Zealand Expected Playing 11
Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Will Young, Tom Latham (WK), Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (C), Zakary Foulkes, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy

West Indies
The West Indies’ struggles seem to have no end. After losing the last three T20 games and the series, the team would have wanted a better start to the ODIs. However, that wasn’t the case as the visitors were outclassed in all departments.
John Campbell, who returned to the ODI format after almost 6 years, was unable to make a mark and was dismissed early. The others, including Shai Hope, Alick Athanaze, and Keacy Carty, got decent starts but were unable to convert them into big knocks.
Sherfane Rutherford was the only one who was able to score a half-century, but didn’t receive much support at the other end. The West Indies needs to bat better if they want a chance of winning this game.
The two new-ball bowlers, Matthew Forde and Jayden Seales, did a decent job, picking up 5 wickets, and will hope to make early inroads in New Zealand’s top order. However, Justin Greaves and Shamar were expensive and needed to bowl a better line and length.
West Indies Expected Playing 11
John Campbell, Shai Hope (C & WK), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Justin Greaves, Matthew Forde, Shamar Springer, Jayden Seales
NZ vs WI Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to field first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
While the average first-inning score here is around 227, the pitch at McLean Park is usually good to bat on, and the team batting first will look to get as close to the 300-run mark as possible. The seamers can expect some help with the new ball, but as the innings progress, the batsmen will be able to play their shots.
The weather is expected to remain overcast throughout the day with some showers.
NZ vs WI: Who Will Win?
We are backing New Zealand to win this match. They have played well throughout this tour and have dominated with bat and ball. The team has a strong batting line-up and a strong pace attack, giving them an edge. The West Indies has some quality players, but has failed to deliver as a unit.
Bet on New Zealand to win.
| Pro Tip: The West Indies are perhaps the weakest in the ODI format. Betting against their batters is the way to go in every single market that you can find. |
