West Indies vs New Zealand 3rd ODI Match Prediction
Match: WI vs NZ ODI Match Prediction
Time: 21 Aug, 11:30 PM (IST)
Series: 3rd ODI Match
Venue: Kensington Oval – Bridgetown, Barbados
Info:
The lower order made the runs for West Indies after five of the top seven were dismissed for single figure scores. Shai Hope hit 16 and the opener is our tip for their highest run scorer in this ODI. With the ball, off-spinner Kevin Sinclair took 4-41 in his second game in this format on Friday and he is a strong choice for West Indies’ top wicket taker.
Opener Finn Allen hit 96 runs from 117 balls in the second game of the series and he is well worth backing as New Zealand’s highest run scorer in this match. Tim Southee took 4-22 on Friday to back up his 2-39 on Wednesday. He enjoys bowling on this pitch and is our pick for New Zealand’s top wicket taker on Sunday.
We recommend backing Tim Southee to take over 2.5 wickets in this ODI.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
Rain is forecast at times during the scheduled playing hours of this game. However, it will be 29 degrees throughout and we expect a game to be completed.
🏟️ Pitch:
Any pitch which delivers 20 wickets in an ODI is one that favors the bowlers. Both pace and spinners enjoyed the conditions and we expect a par score of no higher than 200.
Toss Prediction:
West Indies have chosen to field first in both games of the series so far. With overcast skies and humidity, we expect both teams to want to bowl first ahead of this final ODI.

Team News:
WI Team News:
The hosts made one change to their XI after beating New Zealand in Wednesday’s ODI opener. Out went Jermaine Blackwood, with Brandon King, who had been in good form earlier this summer, returning to the side. We expect the same team for this decisive match.
NZ Team News:
Jimmy Neesham and Glenn Phillips came into the Black Caps side for the second ODI with skipper Kane Williamson ruled out with a quad injury and Lockie Feguson rested. Tom Latham took over as captain for the game and we expect him to do so with no risks taken to any players.

Winning Chances:
After two low-scoring ODIs from the first two games of the series, we expect another match with the bowlers on top. Often the most exciting fixtures are the low-scoring ones and this could well be a classic to end the series. Our prediction is for New Zealand to get the victory and win the series 2-1.
Final Verdict
New Zealand is a favorite to beat West Indies.
WI Key Players:
Shai Hope:
this will be Shai Hope’s 99th ODI innings and he has an excellent record with the bat in this format. He averages a century or a fifty in every three innings.
Jason Holder:
the former skipper has been inconsistent across all the series this summer but impressed with the ball on Friday. He dismissed Martin Guptill, Finn Allen, and Tom Latham.
Kevin Sinclair:
the off-spinner got the wicket of Daryl Mitchell in the middle order before running through the tailenders. Right now he averages 15.60 with the ball in this format.
NZ Key Players:
Finn Allen:
the 23 year old right handed top order batter hit seven fours and three sixes in Friday’s game. He finished four runs short of his first century in this format.
Tim Southee:
the right arm swing bowler has enjoyed the pitch and overhead conditions in Barbados during this series. The new ball partnership with Trent Boult continues to produce results.
Trent Boult:
the left-arm pace bowler will end his New Zealand contact after this game. Although he will still play for the Black Caps, he will not play across all formats all of the time.
