WI vs NZ Match Prediction, 2nd T20I – Who will win today’s match between West Indies vs New Zealand?

The three-match T20I series between West Indies and New Zealand got underway in Kingston on August 10, Wednesday, and the Kiwis won the first T20I by 13 runs. For West Indies, that was their fourth loss on the spin and the tenth loss of the year. The visitors, on the other hand, are unbeaten in T20Is in 2022, winning all eight matches so far. In the first T20I, West Indies won the toss and elected to field first. The Black Caps posted a total of 185 for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs. Devon Conway scored 43 runs off 29 balls, skipper Kane Williamson top-scored with 47 runs off 33 balls, and James Neesham finished off with an unbeaten 33 off 15 balls. West Indies, in reply, only gathered 172 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs. Shamarh Brooks scored 42, and Romario Shepherd scored an unbeaten 31. Mitchell Santner was named the Player of the Match for his performance with the ball, taking three wickets and conceding 19 runs in four overs. WI vs NZ Match Details Venue: Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica Date and Time: August 13, 12:00 AM IST Telecast & Live Streaming: FanCode WI vs NZ Pitch Report The Sabina Park ground generally offers a batting wicket with some assistance for the seamers. After the first T20I, not much can change, and it was shown that there was something for both pacers and spinners, while also offering runs for the batters. However, it could get slower in the second innings and the chase could be tricky. The totals range from the lowest of 85 to the highest of 194 in four T20Is. WI vs NZ Probable Playing XIs West Indies Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (c), Devon Thomas (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Hayden Walsh, Obed McCoy New Zealand Martin Guptill, Devon Conway (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult WI vs NZ, Probable Top Performers Probable best batter Kane Williamson: One of the most technically-sound batters of this era and one of the best batters in the T20Is, Williamson is expected to deliver for his team yet again. The first T20I against West Indies was his first game in the format in 2022. He had a below-par IPL, but his innings with four fours and two sixes in the first T20I showed that he very well has the rhythm and what is required to deal with the tricky Sabina Park surface. Probable best bowler Mitchell Santner: Santner, the star of the first T20I, could be the game-changer for the Kiwis yet again in the second game. He got the key wickets of Brooks, Pooran and Hetmyer, mixing up his length and pace with subtle variations, which could be handy on this wicket. He also has an impressive record in 2022, with an average of 22.77, economy rate of 6.83, and a strike rate of 20.0. Today’s Match Prediction: New Zealand to win the match.
