New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
Their top four did a good job with the bat in the first ODI and the Kiwis will expect another strong performance from the top order at Christchurch. The opening pair of Colin Munro and George Worker put up 108 runs for the first wicket and the onus will be on these two again to take the team off to a flying start. Doug Bracewell and Todd Astle were brilliant with the ball picking up four and three wickets respectively. They together with Trent Boult will be the major threats for the Windies.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Evin Lewis hogged the limelight with his knock of 76 runs at Whangarei and the Windies will hope that he is able to replicate that performance once again. The visitors will also need Chris Gayle and Shai Hope to fire on all cylinders if they are to have any chance of a win against the Kiwis. Jason Holder and Kesrick Williams were somewhat impressive with the ball and it will be up to these two to pick up early wickets. Ashley Nurse who took two wickets will also be crucial with his offspin.

New Zealand vs West Indies 2nd ODI Betting Odds
New Zealand are firm favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the second one-day international at very short odds of 1.33 on Betfair and 1.30 on Bet365. Their bowlers wrecked the West Indian batting lineup to restrict them to 248 before their batsmen comfortably chased down the target with five wickets and four overs to spare. The tourists on the other hand have plenty of areas to work on. They are big underdogs for this game at a high price of 3.9 on Betfair and 3.5 on Bet365.
New Zealand vs West Indies 2nd ODI Prediction
Pressure will be on the West Indies who now must ensure a win in this match to keep the series alive and given the fragile nature of their batting, they are bound to crumble under such pressure. New Zealand will be without their skipper and ace batsman Kane Williamson but it won't bother them too much as rest of the players seem to be in good form. The hosts also have a 100% win record in ODIs at the Hagley Oval having won all six of their matches here. Since not much improvement is expected from the Windies, we predict New Zealand to win this match and take the series.
Final Verdict: Back New Zealand to beat West Indies in the second ODI at 1.33 on 1xbet and 1.30 on Bet365.
