NZ vs WI Today Match Prediction :
New Zealand will face off West Indies in the second T20 international in Mount Maunganui on this Sunday. New Zealand after a five wickets’ win in the first T20I is leading 1-0 in the series and will look to clinch it. On the other hand, West Indies who must be disappointed after the loss in the first match will look to level the series with a much better performance.
Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of New Zealand as well as of West Indies and will also make our NZ vs WI Today Match Prediction
Strengths :
New Zealand’s strength is their bowling attack of Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, Kyle Jamieson and Mitchell Santner who have been good in this format. In the first match Ferguson took a fifer and Southee also picked up two wickets and their combo will decide the fate of this game as well. In the batting they have Martin Guptill, Tim Seifert, David Conway, Glenn Phillips, Ross Taylor and Jimmy Neesham who can do a lot of damage in home conditions.
On the other hand, West Indies’ strength is their batting unit as they have a lot of powerful hitters. Andre Fletcher, Brandon King, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran are quite good but they need to spend some time on the crease. Captain Pollard played a great knock of 75* runs in the first game and once again he will be the key in middle order. Fabian Allan too did well with the bat in the first match. In bowling Sheldon Cottrell and Oshane Thomas were very good in the first match.
Weaknesses :
New Zealand’s weakness is the inconsistency of their top order batsmen and the poor line length of Hamish Benett and Jimmy Neesham who did leak a lot of runs in the first match and they need to bowl much better lines in this match.
On the other hand, West Indies’ weakness is the lack of responsibility from their batsmen as most of them just goes to attack irrespective of the situation and condition and also their bowlers like Kestrick Williams and Keemo Paul need to bowl with better line and lengths as they bowled a lot of no balls in the first match.
Here we are going to discuss both New Zealand and West Indies’s playing combination and probable playing XIs who will be useful for making NZ vs WI Dream11 Team
New Zealand is coming with a win and they might remain unchanged for this match. On the other hand, West Indies might drop Kestrick Williams who was very poor in Auckland for Romario Shephered.

Here we are going to discuss about a few players from both sides who can be very good picks for NZ vs WI Dream 11 Prediction teams
Kieron Pollard : The captain of West Indies has been in top form in this format this year as he did well in CPL as well as in IPL and in the first T20I he played a massive knock of 75* runs and also picked up 1 wicket so he is a must pick.
Tim Seifert : The wicket keeper has been impressive and in the last T20I series against India he played couple of good knocks and also got a good start in the first match.
Lockie Ferguson : The pacer was outstanding in the first match he picked up 5 wickets without conceding much runs and given his form he is a must pick as he picks up crucial wickets in middle overs.
Nicholas Pooran : He failed in the first match but he is coming with a good IPL season and he will look to bounce back in this match with a better performance.
