New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting looks in great shape with Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Tom Blundell and Colin de Grandhomme all having good hits in the first test. Kane Williamson fell cheaply but he will be the key for New Zealand at Hamilton as he is averaging 58.20 here in tests. Neil Wagner finished with a match-haul of nine wickets and he will be one of prime threats in this bowling attack. Trent Boult picked up a couple in each innings and he together with returnee Tim Southee are expected to inflict the early damage on the West Indies.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Kraigg Brathwaite top-scored for the Windies at Wellington, scoring a resilient 91 in the second innings to lift up the teams' spirit. Kieran Powell scored twice in the 40s while Shai Hope could not contribute much. West Indies will need these three batsmen to score big in this match if they are to challenge the Kiwis. Kemar Roach was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets and it will be up to him to provide his team the early breakthroughs. Miguel Cummins took two wickets and the team will want him to maintain the pressure on the hosts from the other end.

New Zealand vs West Indies 2nd Test Betting Odds
New Zealand are the obvious favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the second test at a very short 1.43 price on Betfair. The Kiwis hammered the West Indies at Wellington by an innings and 67 runs and they have also won both the test matches between the two sides at Hamilton. The Windies once again begin as huge underdogs for this game at massive odds of 14 on Betfair. A drawn match is up at 4.2 on the same bookmaker.
New Zealand vs West Indies 2nd Test Prediction
Since only one of the last ten tests at the Seddon Park has resulted in a draw, the chances of this match to end in a draw look bleak. West Indies were clearly found struggling with both bat and ball in the first game and it could be the same story here as well. Pressure too will be on the visitors who have to win in order to avoid a series defeat. New Zealand have an impressive test record at this ground and we feel that the Windies are staring at another loss here.
Final Verdict: Back New Zealand to beat West Indies in the second test at 1.43 on 1xbet.
