NZ vs WI Probable Winners:

The West Indies are coming off a successful tour of Bangladesh, which included a T20I victory in the first match. The shortest format comes out their best, and with powerful batters throughout the lineup, they'll aim to dominate right away. New Zealand is dealing with the absence of key players and has yet to develop a T20 strategy. Their top and middle orders must make significant improvements to tie the series. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.
