The new ball and overcast conditions will produce a challenge for the batting side. We will see a fast-bowling-dominated game. The team bowling first can use the conditions to their effect. NZ vs WI: Possible XIs New Zealand : Will Young, Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Tom Latham (c & wk), Tom Blundell, Mitchell Santner, Nathan Smith, Zakary Foulkes, Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy West Indies : Tagenarine Chanderpaul, John Campbell, Alick Athanaze, Shai Hope (wk), Roston Chase (c), Tevin Imlach, Justin Graves, Jomel Warrican, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Anderson Phillip NZ vs WI: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Devon Conway showed good form in the ODI series and played some good knocks at the top. For West Indies, the form of Shai Hope will be the key. He can play long innings and let the other batters play around him. Probable Best Bowler Matt Henry is an excellent exponent of the new ball. His opening spells have caused problems for the opposition on home soil. For West Indies, Kemar Roach is back, and he is capable of swinging with good pace and bowling long spells.
