T20 World Cup: 26th Match, WI vs NZ Today Match Prediction - Who will win today's match Between West Indies and New Zealand - Cricket Winner

West Indies have won their last five T20Is on the trot. New Zealand though came into this World Cup with the majority of their key players last playing a T20I back in February. New Zealand come into this game facing a virtual knock-out situation. A loss here takes their tournament out of their hands. To make matters worse, their NRR has been very disappointing and that will be something to work with after their sole loss to Afghanistan.

WI vs NZ Key Players

Glenn Phillips

Glenn Phillips is a big name in T20 Cricket that often goes unnoticed. He has an explosive game and is waiting to use it. He was benched through the IPL and if he gets going here he could make a huge statement in World Cricket.

Nicholas Pooran

Once the next big talent, Corey Anderson fell apart and came back. He is doing a decent job in his limited opportunities this World Cup but there still seems to be more for him to do.

WI vs NZ Match Tips

West Indies are in better form and look a lot more well practiced. New Zealand though knows how to pull up their socks in the big moment and they could look to make things interesting.
