NZ vs WI Dream11 Prediction | New Zealand vs West Indies Match Preview | Fantasy Team & Team News
While everyone predicted New Zealand to easily win against South Africa, it wasn’t as smooth of a game for the blackcaps as everyone had predicted. With a proper chase and a beautifully crafted century from the skipper, Kane Williams, New Zealand was merely able to overcome the Proteas to win the game and keep their unbeaten record alive.
On the opposite end, Windies has looked very disappointing in their World Cup run. Managing only one win so far versus Pakistan, West Indies has now lost 3 games in a row to Australia, England and Bangladesh. The team hasn’t looked to be in sync as the bowlers aren’t being calm and instead, bowling very erratically while their batsmen aren’t in ODI mode except for Shai Hope.
Let’s not forget that West Indies was able to beat New Zealand by well over 91 runs in the World Cup warm-up matches which gives the Windies supporters a little bit of hope for their team.
