NZ vs WI 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
New Zealand will take on West Indies for the second match of the T-20 series on Sunday. The match will be played at the Bay Oval and is scheduled to get underway at 2:00 PM local time.
The first T-20 turned out to be a heart wrenching thriller and the second match promises nothing less. West Indies are a formidable side in this form of the game and a loss in their previous match would have jolted them from the core. New Zealand on the other hand looked composed, exactly what you expect from a world class side.
West Indies dominated New Zealand for most part of the series but the Kiwi’s never let the game drift too far away and kept on clawing back into the match. However, they’ll need to put up a better show in the next game to pocket a series win.
Martin Guptill and Tim Seifert missed out in the first match but they’re class act and can be backed to perform better in the next game. Devon Conway, Glen Phillips and Ross Taylor forms a strong batting order. Jimmy Neesham and Mitchell Santner have already proved their worth in the first T-20.
Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee were outstanding with the ball but other bowlers were taken to cleaners by the West Indians. New Zealand might look to tweak its bowling line up and bring in Daryl Mitchell in place of Hamish Bennet.
From 58-0 to 59-5 and then to 180-7 in 16 overs, there is hardly any team as unpredictable as West Indies. They’ll be disappointed they couldn’t defend what looked like a daunting total. Things have not changed much from the last match.
West Indies are still a dangerous side with a very strong batting line up. They just need to play sensibly and they can be a very tough opposition. The bowling failed to defend 180 in 16 overs which will be a cause of concern. Overall, both teams are capable enough to defeat their opposition but New Zealand are more stable of the two teams and are favourites to win the match.

NZ Team News
New Zealand might have won the first T-20 but they shouldn’t be satisfied with the performance. The bowling was very disappointing thus few changes can be expected. Hamish Bennett is the one that might miss out to Daryl Mitchell
NZ Key Players
- Tim Seifert - The destructive opener missed out in the first T-20 but can be devastating on his day. A big inning is not too far away for the southpaw
- James Neesham – James Neesham once again proved his worth in this New Zealand team with a match winning 48. With his all-around abilities, he’s an asset for New Zealand
- Lockie Ferguson – Lockie Ferguson has been phenomenal in the last few months. He was terrific in the IPL and carried on his form in the T-20 series. He can be backed to deliver another big performance.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
West might have lost the first match but they were in control for most part of the match. They are most likely to go in with the same playing XI.
WI Key Players
- Kieron Pollard – Kieron Pollard is in the form of his life. He was at his destructive best in the first T-20 and is expected to carry on his form in the next match too.
- Andre Fletcher – Fletcher’s stay at the crease was short but very entertaining. He is a batsman that can decimate the opposition’s bowling. If he stays for 10 overs, West Indies are sure to get a mammoth total.
- Hayden Walsh: Oshane Thomas was the pick of the West Indian bowlers in the last match. He can be backed to come good in the next match too.
