West Indies

West Indies will take on New Zealand in the second T20I tomorrow at Sabina Park in Kingston. This is the second match of a three-match series between these two island nations. This series started on Wednesday when the visitors successfully defended their total of 185 runs for 5 wickets. The West Indies team in response to the kiwi score could muster 172 for 7 from their quota of 20 overs. During the first game of the series, the Caribbeans faced the same issues they did when they took on India earlier in the month. Many of their top batsmen were getting dismissed early and as a result, the team was unable to post a big total.

West Indies chopped and changed their side many times in the cent few months. They made several changes to their squad during the India and Bangladesh visits to the Caribbean. However, now they need to maintain a settled team, especially with the world cup just around the corner. Brandon King is one of the players that will be looking to make a comeback to the side. But it is expected that the West Indies team will remain unchanged for the second game. One of the key members of the Windies' side is Shamrah Brooks. Even though this right-handed batsman scored his runs at an average strike rate of 97.67 during the first game of the series, he did keep the batting order going during the chase. The rest of the Windies' top order threw away their wickets against the same opposition.

Another player that did well in both batting and bowling departments of the game in Odean Smith. He was responsible for dismissing all three of the New Zealand top order batsmen and he later contributed with the bat as well scoring 27 not out from 12 balls to get the Windies close to the target. Another crucial bowler for West Indies is Obed McCoy. The 25-year-old bowler was taken for 3 sixes and 1 four on Wednesday. But he did pick up the crucial wicket of Daryl Mitchell. The 5-wicket win West Indies recorded over India at the beginning of the month appears to be a long time ago. Now the Caribbeans have lost 4 matches in a row in the T20 format.

New Zealand

New Zealand impressed the cricketing world on their tour of Western Europe earlier in the year. The team is short of some of their star players but still, it looked like a champion team in the game on Wednesday. All their top-order batsmen played according to a plan and aggressively. You can expect them to continue in the same vein in the second match. The kiwi team welcomed some of their key players back to the side in the series during the first game on Wednesday. It must be a comforting feeling to have all the players available for selection before the world cup comes up in a couple of months. The New Zeeland fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is rested many times but you can expect the team management to gradually raise his workload.

You can expect the kiwi team to take an unchanged side to this game as well. In the match on Wednesday Kane Williamson hit 4 boundaries and 2 sixes at the same venue. He would be disappointed that he missed out on the opportunity to score yet another half-century for New Zealand. Mitchell Santner is a bowling all-rounder who captained the team on the recent tours of the Netherlands, Scotland, and Ireland. His commitment to the team's cause cannot be questioned because he bowled 12 dot balls in a row and also took the vital wicket of Jason Holder. Kiwis are looking to get the 9th win in a row during this second T20I match against the West Indies. In Wednesday's game, it was terrific to see all the New Zealand batsmen and bowlers chipping in with contributions to the team.

WI vs NZ Toss Prediction

In the first on Wednesday, West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl first. As rains are expected during the match and especially before the start of the game tomorrow, we can expect the skipper that wins the toss to opt to bowl first at Sabina Park. The wicket will remain true throughout the game and it is a good idea to know the target while going in to bat.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather forecast is that of humidity and thunderstorms in the first couple of hours of the match. You can expect the temperatures during the game to be close to 32 degrees. Therefore, even if there are showers during the game the ground will dry up pretty fast. Even though many of the West Indies top order batsmen are struggling at the moment, some of the batsmen did well in the first game on Wednesday. The pitch at Sabina Park in Kingston will offer some assistance to the fast bowlers as it has a good bounce in it.

WI vs NZ Betting Tips

There is no doubt that the West Indies currently has a good set of players on their national side. However, getting them all the perform well together and consistently is a big headache for the management at the moment. Even though the Windies team will be trying to become a force to reckon with in the 2022 T20 World Cup, the tournament might be just a bit too close for them to gather some sort of momentum. The New Zealand team on the other hand has been pretty impressive in the recent past winning their matches and doing away with all the smaller opposition. We expect New Zealand to win this match and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
