West Indies will host New Zealand in the second ODI of the three-match series on Friday, August 19, following a good performance in the series opener at Kensington Oval in Barbados. With a 1-0 advantage, the hosts need one more victory to win the ODI series and snap their protracted losing streak.
Match Preview
The Kensington Oval pitch has aided both bowlers and batters. The sides batting first will struggle to reach a large total because the pitch is not conducive to high scoring, as was evident in the first game. Given that the first innings average is only 228 runs, a score of 250 or higher will be difficult.
Team Preview
It was a much-needed victory for the Caribbean team, who had a string of poor performances recently. They lost to Ireland in January, then to India away from home in February, before winning against the Netherlands in June. They then lost ODI series against Pakistan and Bangladesh before falling to India at home.
After a disappointing performance in the series opener, the Kiwis will look to win this game and keep the series alive. New Zealand will be hoping for a better performance with bat and ball. They were terrible at bat, with none of the batters taking ownership. Kane Williamson’s form is becoming a major concern. He has yet to reach 50 since his return to the team. The right-handed batter will look to score some runs and take the lead.
