New Zealand are favourites to win
The three match ODI series between West Indies and New Zealand comes to an end with the third and final game at the Kensington Oval on Sunday. The series is level at 1-1 after New Zealand won Friday’s rain interrupted game by 50 runs (DLS) Read on as we preview this game. The ODI gets underway at 14:00 local time in Bridgetown, Barbados.
The hosts’ top order were blown away by the experienced and quality bowling from Tim Southee and Trent Boult on Friday. They will need to find an answer to the pair in this game if they want to challenge for the win.
New Zealand showed why they are one of the best international sides around by bouncing back from Wednesday’s win with an immediate victory. The visitors have not only a strong XI but strength in depth in their squad.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on BT Sport, ESPN Caribbean and Sky Sport NZ
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match via the FanCode App.
West Indies have chosen to field first in both games of the series so far. With overcast skies and humidity, we expect both teams to want to bowl first ahead of this final ODI.
Any pitch which delivers 20 wickets in an ODI is one which favours the bowlers. Both pace and spinners enjoyed the conditions and we expect a par score of no higher than 200.
Rain is forecast at times during the scheduled playing hours of this game. However, it will be 29 degrees throughout and we expect a game to be completed.

The hosts made one change to their XI after beating New Zealand in Wednesday’s ODI opener. Out went Jermaine Blackwood, with Brandon King, who had been in good form earlier this summer, returning to the side. We expect the same team for this decisive match.
Although they could not make it two wins on the bounce, West Indies will be far happier with inconsistent result after their losing streak earlier this summer.
Shai Hope (wk), Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Brandon King, Keacy Carty, Nicholas Pooran (c), Jason Holder, Yannic Cariah, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, Kevin Sinclair
Jimmy Neesham and Glenn Phillips came into the Black Caps side for the second ODI with skipper Kane Williamson ruled out with a quad injury and Lockie Feguson rested. Tom Latham took over as captain for the game and we expect him to do so with no risks taken to any players.
New Zealand showed that they are one of the most consistent teams in this format by getting back to winning ways immediately after Wednesday’s opener.
Martin Guptill, Finn Allen, Devon Conway (wk), Glenn Phillips, Tom Latham (c), Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Jimmy Neesham, Trent Boult
New Zealand have narrowed the gap in the overall head to head score in ODIs to 31-29 and can reduce the gap to only one game with a win here. The Black Caps have won eight of the last two ODI meetings.

The bookmakers expect New Zealand to make it two wins in three days and take the series 2-1.
With the ODI World Cup just over a year ago, there is still time for experimentation but we expect both teams to go all out for the win in this game, select their best XI and target a series victory.
We are backing Shai Hope, Shamarh Brooks and Kyle Mayers with the bat for West Indies. Mayers hit his first ODI century against Netherlands a couple of months ago.
Martin Guptill, Finn Allen and Devon Conway are our batting recommendations for New Zealand. Conway has made single figure scores in the first two games of the series but still averages 47.00 in this format.
Alzarri Joseph, Jason Holder and Kevin Sinclair are our picks with the ball for West Indies. Holder has combined figures of 5-63 across the series.
Our bowling tips are Trent Boult, Tim Southee and James Neesham for New Zealand. Neesham has 68 wickets in this format.
After two low scoring ODIs from the first two games of the series, we expect another match with the bowlers on top. Often the most exciting fixtures are the low scoring ones and this could well be a classic to end the series. Our prediction is for New Zealand to get the victory and win the series 2-1.
