WI vs NZ 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The second of three ODIs between West Indies and New Zealand takes place at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown on Friday afternoon in Barbados. West Indies won the opening game of the series by five wickets on Wednesday, chasing down their target of 191 with 11 overs remaining. Read on as we preview this day-night ODI. The match gets underway at 14:00.
Form and momentum can turn very quickly in cricket and West Indies have suddenly registered two victories in a row against New Zealand. They will need to be at their best again in this game if they are to make it three on the bounce.
New Zealand were not poor in Wednesday’s game but failed to take advantage of many good opportunities in the match. They are very experienced and we expect them to respond with a stronger performance in this fixture.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
In the opening game of the series, the home side gave ODI debuts to 22 year old off-spinner Kevin Sinclair and 30 year old leg-spinner Yannic Cariah. Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph were the only pace bowlers in the side but neither will require a rest after Wednesday’s win.
WI Key Players
- Shai Hope - The right handed keeper-batter has scored 15 international centuries with 13 coming in this format. He has hit 4241 runs in ODIs.
- Shamarh Brooks - The 33 year old was a late entrant to ODI cricket when he made his debut earlier this year. So far he has a useful average of 38.44 from 19 games.
- Akeal Hosein - The spinner really enjoyed the surface in Barbados on Wednesday and took the wickets of Finn Allen, Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell.
WI Team Form
West Indies ended their miserable run of defeats with the win on Wednesday. It was their first ODI victory since beating Netherlands in June.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Shai Hope (wk), Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Keacy Carty, Nicholas Pooran (c), Jermaine Blackwood, Jason Holder, Yannic Cariah, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, Kevin Sinclair
New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
We expect to see Lockie Ferguson rested for this game. He was expensive with the ball on Wednesday and is regularly left out of back to back matches to protect his fitness ahead of the T20 World Cup. We anticipate that spinner Ish Sodhi will come into the team to replace Ferguson.
NZ Key Players
- Kane Williamson - The right-handed batter hit four fours in the first ODI. He is a very accomplished player across all formats and hit successive centuries during the last World Cup in this format.
- Tim Southee - The experienced right arm fast medium bowler returned figures of 2-39 in Barbados in the opening ODI. He took the big wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Shai Hope.
- Mitchell Santner - The bowling all-rounder has had an excellent tour of the caribbean on this trip. He scored 25 runs from 38 balls and dismissed Keacy Carty on Wednesday.
NZ Team Form
Every winning run must come to an end at some point and after 10 successive ODI wins, New Zealand must now try and get back to winning ways in this match.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Martin Guptill, Finn Allen, Devon Conway (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult

🏆 West Indies vs New Zealand Prediction
Although ODIs are a far longer format than IT20s, it can still take just one performance to win a game. Shamrah Brooks produced that in the first game of the series and it will be interesting to see who delivers on Friday. Overall we are predicting a win for New Zealand
