Welcome to our Preview for WI vs NZ 2nd ODI. The first game folded up rather easily for the hosts as they claimed the lead in the series. The action now moves to Christchurch, where the 2nd ODI is set for West Indies vs New Zealand.
After winning the toss, New Zealand bowlers were on top of their game. Controlling line and lenghts disturbed the free spirited calypso batters, and they were constrained.
Brilliant performances by Bracewell and Astle helped New Zealand in the long run. Only Evin Lewis and Powell we able to score Big, that too against their nature.
Though New Zealand list 5 wickets, Munro and Worker had already done the hard work needed to get over the line, and eventually they did so, with Ross Taylor’s 49. Now, it will be interesting to see Windies strategy in the next fixture.
