New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
Colin Munro is going through tremendous form. The left-handed opener has hit back-to-back fifties and has scored 343 runs in 9 T20 internationals since last year. He along with Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson will be the key figures with the bat for New Zealand. Tim Southee and Seth Rance will open the bowling and will look for early breakthroughs. Spinners Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi have also done a good job with the ball.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
The Windies will need good hits from Chris Gayle, Andre Fletcher and Shai Hope if they are to put pressure on the Kiwis with the bat. Gayle has yet to make an impact on this tour and the team will hope that he returns to his big-hitting form on this excellent batting track. When it comes to bowling, West Indies will look to Sheldon Cottrell to deliver the goods. The paceman was impressive in the 2017 CPL and was the pick of the quicks in the last game. Samuel Badree will continue to remain their go-to spin option.

New Zealand vs West Indies 3rd T20 Betting Odds
New Zealand are clear favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the third T20 international at very short odds of 1.46 on Betfair, 1.43 on Unibet and 1.44 each on Bet365, Betway and Ladbrokes. They have won each and every game with ease and they were looking set for another victory in the last game had the rain not played spoilsport. West Indies do appear as a more settled side in T20 format but they have not been able to play to their potential. They are the underdogs at 3 on Betfair, 2.85 on Unibet and 2.75 each on Bet365, Betway and Ladbrokes.
New Zealand vs West Indies 3rd T20 Prediction
West Indies have looked simply out of sorts since the start of their tour. Their batsmen are struggling to score runs in these conditions while their bowlers are getting clobbered all around the park. New Zealand have won all three of their completed T20 internationals at the Bay Oval and they might as well would have won the fourth in a row if the game had not been abandoned. The Kiwis are looking tough to beat at the moment and so we predict them to win this match and take the series 2-0.
Final Verdict: Back New Zealand to beat West Indies in the third T20 at 1.46 on 1xbet, 1.43 on Unibet and 1.44 each on Bet365, Betway and 10Cric.
