West Indies vs New Zealand 3rd T20I Match Prediction

Preview

West Indies vs New Zealand: West Indies batted their full quota of overs but their batting continues to be a concern. They are not scoring at a quick pace due to frequent collapses and an early loss of wickets. In both games, batting has been an issue with the lower-order bailing West Indies out, and preventing them from heavy embarassment. New Zealand’s squad depth is looking very good. While Kane Williamson played well in game one it was Glenn Phillips in game two.

Key Players

Glenn Phillips

Over the last year Glenn Phillips has come out as an impressive six-hitter. He is a clean striker of the ball making him an easy pick for the finishers role. Along with his batting, he is pretty good at keeping as well, and bowls handy off-spin making him a rare complete package. His batting is very entertaining and he is one of the more flexible cricketers going around today.

Shimron Hetmyer

Shimron Hetmyer is back in the team after fitness issues but is struggling to make a mark on the sides poor results. While he is getting starts, and his returns are better than the others, West Indies will want more from Hetmyer, given his ability to take games away with ease.

West Indies vs New Zealand Match Tips

West Indies are very inconsistent with both bat and ball at the moment. The top-order in particular is not finding themselves despite having some good players. With West Indies struggling to find consistency it will be tough for them to think about competing in the upcoming game.

Match Prediction: New Zealand will win the match.
