West Indies vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Match Prediction
Match: WI vs NZ ODI Match Prediction
Time: 19 Aug, 11:30 PM (IST)
Series: 2nd ODI Match
Venue: Kensington Oval – Bridgetown, Barbados
Info:
Shamarh Brooks hit 79 runs from 91 balls on Wednesday to make it 160 runs from his last four ODI innings. He is our tip for West Indies’ highest run scorer in this game. With the ball, Akeal Hosein took 3-28 in the first game of the series and he is our recommendation for West Indies’ top wicket taker on Friday.
Kane Williamson top scored with 34 runs from 50 balls in the opening game. The skipper is our pick for New Zealand’s highest run scorer against West Indies. Mitchell Santner took 1-25 in the first ODI and we expect the spinner to be New Zealand’s top wicket taker in the second game of the series.
Six of New Zealand’s top eight made scores over 20 and they will be looking to turn those starts into bigger scores in this game. We are backing Finn Allen to score over 24.5.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
The temperature will alter between 29 and 28 degrees during this match. There may be a quick rain shower early on in the game but overall there will be few interruptions.
🏟️ Pitch:
Bowlers had the upper-hand in the first game of the series with only one player hitting a half-century. We expect the spinners to have the most joy on this pitch in this game.
Toss Prediction:
West Indies won the toss and chose to field first in the opening ODI. Over the last 30 months and over six games, only one team has won an ODI at this venue when batting first. We predict both teams will want to bowl first.

Team News:
WI Team News:
In the opening game of the series, the home side gave ODI debuts to 22 year old off-spinner Kevin Sinclair and 30 year old leg-spinner Yannic Cariah. Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph were the only pace bowlers in the side but neither will require a rest after Wednesday’s win.
NZ Team News:
We expect to see Lockie Ferguson rested for this game. He was expensive with the ball on Wednesday and is regularly left out of back to back matches to protect his fitness ahead of the T20 World Cup. We anticipate that spinner Ish Sodhi will come into the team to replace Ferguson.

Winning Chances:
Although ODIs are a far longer format than IT20s, it can still take just one performance to win a game. Shamrah Brooks produced that in the first game of the series and it will be interesting to see who delivers on Friday. Overall we are predicting a win for New Zealand.
Final Verdict
New Zealand are favourites to beat West Indies
WI Key Players:
Shai Hope:
The right handed keeper-batter has scored 15 international centuries with 13 coming in this format. He has hit 4241 runs in ODIs.
Shamarh Brooks:
The 33 year old was a late entrant to ODI cricket when he made his debut earlier this year. So far he has a useful average of 38.44 from 19 games.
Akeal Hosein:
The spinner really enjoyed the surface in Barbados on Wednesday and took the wickets of Finn Allen, Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell.
NZ Key Players:
Kane Williamson:
The right-handed batter hit four fours in the first ODI. He is a very accomplished player across all formats and hit successive centuries during the last World Cup in this format.
Tim Southee:
The experienced right arm fast medium bowler returned figures of 2-39 in Barbados in the opening ODI. He took the big wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Shai Hope.
Mitchell Santner:
The bowling all-rounder has had an excellent tour of the caribbean on this trip. He scored 25 runs from 38 balls and dismissed Keacy Carty on Wednesday.
Team Info:
WI Team Updates:
West Indies ended their miserable run of defeats with the win on Wednesday. It was their first ODI victory since beating Netherlands in June.

Every winning run must come to an end at some point and after 10 successive ODI wins, New Zealand must now try and get back to winning ways in this match.
