New Zealand is preparing for this series after a mixed T20 international season last month, where defeats to Australia and England disrupted their rhythm. Despite this, they are still a strong team in their homeland and will back themselves to take on the West Indies with great strength.

On the other hand, West Indies are entering this T20 series led by Shai Hope, who is backed by experienced names such as Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, and Rovman Powell. After sweeping Bangladesh 3-0 away from home, the team is in high spirits, which has given them strong momentum for this clash.
