NZ vs WI today match prediction: The 1st game turned out to be a humdinger of a game as it was a sea-saw battle between the two sides. West Indies seemed to run away with the game after quick wickets but the dimensions of the ground enabled the Kiwis to stay in the hunt till the very end and the debutant Devon Conway showed his worth with a valiant effort.
New Zealand pegged back the game after a dashing start from West Indies in powerplay but some reckless shots by the Windies batsmen helped New Zealand to call shots at the end of the day.
West Indies took an aggressive approach right from the word go considering their batting depth and it almost backfired if not for Kieron Pollard’s monumental effort.

NZ vs WI dream11 prediction for today’s match
In NZ vs WI today match prediction lets take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of both the sides
Strengths
New Zealand (NZ)
Lockie Ferguson was their pillar of strength in the bowling department. He was the chief destroyer and if not for Lockie Ferguson’s spell, New Zealand might have lost the match. Devon Conway looked very impressive and lived up to his expectations
West Indies (WI)
Their captain Kieron Pollard is carrying his destructive form into this series as well. He was smashing the Kiwi bowlers to all parts of the ground and was unstoppable. Oshane Thomas bowled really well and his form along with Sheldon Cottrell will have a major say in the 2nd game as well.
Weaknesses
New Zealand (NZ)
Their all the other pace bowlers apart from Lockie Ferguson looked terrible with the ball. They were handled rather easily by West Indies batsmen. Their middle order veteran Ross Taylor seems to be a misfit in their T20 side.
West Indies (WI)
Their bowlers bowled way too many extras at crucial junctures and that cost them their game. Though their middle order is powerhouse, they are susceptible to pace bowling which they should look to rectify if they are to take the series alive to the 3rd match.

Jimmy Neesham: He changed the complexion of the game with blistering innings lower down the order. He scored 48 off 4 overs and was in terrific touch. He also bowled few overs but didn’t pick any wickets. He can be a solid pick overall.
Kieron Pollard: As said in the preview of the 1st match, he played a pivotal role and was the highest scorer for West Indies. He smashed 75 off 37 balls including 8 maximums. He will be looking to play another such knock in a do or die game.
