West Indies’ performance against New Zealand in the first of three ODIs will be hampered by their defeat in the T20I series. The Kiwis will want to maintain their winning streak and dominance over the hosts, making it a match worth watching.
West Indies, on the other side, would plan the ideal counterattack in order to gain the momentum.
Match Preview
On August 17, there would be some light cloud cover across Barbados. The wicket would be a little challenging because batsmen wouldn’t anticipate the ball to land nicely on their bat. The team that bats first in this match will be happy with a total of 280 runs. The pitch is slow and offers nothing for quick bowlers to work with. However, because the ball stops on the batters, spinners have been successful over the years. In this game, the team winning the toss should not hesitate to bat first.
Team Preview
Although the team is talented, their consistency has been a big issue. Shai Hope and Kyle Mayers must perform well at the top since the team has to get off to a good start in the game. The addition of Shimron Hetmyer strengthens the team, although he will have competition from Brandon King and Shamarah Brooks in the middle order. . For the team to be in a comfortable position in the game, Jayden Seales and Keemo Paul must perform well in the middle order. Mayers and Akeal Hosein will attempt to excel in the supporting roles.
Kane Williamson would be confident going into this game. The team would like a good start from the opening duo of Martin Guptill and Devon Conway. With Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell in the middle of the order, Kane Williamson brings a wealth of experience to the table and would like to add some quick runs. A wicket that won’t offer much for them, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson make up a potent new ball combo and will try to bend their backs. These circumstances would appeal to Santner and Ish Sodhi, and the two would seek to do the most destruction.
