NZ vs WI Betting Tips
otal runs in the match to be under 522.5 runs
A conservative bet in the context of this series—Hamilton's last ODI saw only 352 runs between New Zealand and England, and even with a successful chase, the Black Caps lost five wickets chasing a modest total. Expect bowlers to have a say and run rates to be checked again.
Rachin Ravindra to score more than 28.5 runs
Rachin Ravindra is fast earning a reputation as New Zealand’s new order linchpin, particularly at home. He recently hit a half-century against England in Hamilton—and with his technique and temperament, he’s well-placed to surpass this line again.

NZ vs WI Team Previews
New Zealand
Expect the top three—Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Will Young—to provide a solid and strategic foundation. Their talent for rotating the strike frustrates bowlers and keeps the scoreboard active, which is ideal for Seddon Park’s dimensions.
The real edge, however, lies in the bowling: Matt Henry’s relentless accuracy and Blair Tickner’s aggression will put early pressure on West Indies, while Kyle Jamieson’s bounce is likely to trouble the tourists.
Nathan Smith’s all-round skills offer depth, and the spin duo of Santner and Bracewell will suffocate runs in the middle overs, especially as West Indies’ batters look susceptible to quality spin. Expect New Zealand to dictate the tempo and squeeze the visitors out of the contest.
New Zealand Expected Playing 11
Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Will Young, Mark Chapman, Tom Latham (wk), Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c), Nathan Smith, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Blair Tickner

West Indies
West Indies have it all to do against a ringing Kiwi side. Their top three—Campbell, Auguste, and Carty—are unproven in these conditions and could be exposed early by New Zealand’s new-ball movement. Auguste, in particular, is under pressure after a tough introduction to international ODIs.
Captain Shai Hope stands as the mainstay, but leaning on him for the bulk of the runs is a dangerous reliance. Power is present in the middle through Rutherford and Shepherd, but a lack of rotation and composure may see wickets fall in bursts.
With Jayden Seales offering pace but not always control, and Forde and Springer still inexperienced, this attack is likely to be outgunned. The lack of impactful spin options is a further concern as runs leak in the middle.
West Indies Expected Playing 11
John Campbell, Ackeem Auguste, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (c/wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Justin Greaves, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Shamar Springer, Jayden Seales
NZ vs WI Toss Prediction
Seddon Park often rewards chasing—more than half the ODIs here have gone to the team batting second. With recent history supporting the trend, the toss-winner may well opt to field.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Expect assistance for new-ball seamers in the early overs, especially under cloud cover; batting will be more comfortable as conditions ease. Seddon Park’s average ODI score in recent times is 247. Weather is set to be mostly cloudy, warm, and humid, with only a slight chance of rain.
NZ vs WI: Who Will Win?
New Zealand’s superior home credentials, especially with a balanced and potent bowling attack, hand them all the cards for this contest. Matthew Henry and Kyle Jamieson should provide breakthroughs, giving the hosts the edge over a West Indies outfit still seeking consistency. Back the Kiwis to seal a clean sweep.
Bet on New Zealand to win.
| Pro Tip: Daryll Mitchell is in the form of his life and it may be the right move to back him to score some runs here. |
