WI vs NZ Match Prediction, 3rd ODI – Who will win today’s match between West Indies vs New Zealand?

The ODI series has come down to the third and decider game, where both West Indies, the hosts, and New Zealand, the visitors, look to achieve the same goal- a win. While the hosts won the first game to take an early lead in the series and break their nine-match losing streak in the format, the visitors bounced back stronger to level the series and take it to the final game. The two teams will lock horns on Sunday, August 21, at the same venue- the Kensington Oval in Barbados, where the winning side will be crowned as the series champions. New Zealand worked on their flaws after losing the first game, and now West Indies would look to do the same. They faced a terrible collapse in the previous contest and would look to work in the batting department. WI vs NZ, 3rd ODI, Match Details Venue: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown Date and Time: August 21, 11:30 PM IST Telecast & Live Streaming: FanCode WI vs NZ, 3rd ODI, Pitch Report The pitch at Kensington Oval has significantly aided the bowlers, as was seen in the previous two games, and a similar pitch may be anticipated for the third and final ODI match. The batters might struggle initially, but once they preserve their wicket firmly, they can go long in the game. The captain who wins the toss may choose to bowl first. WI vs NZ, 3rd ODI, Probable Playing XIs West Indies: Shai Hope (wk), Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Keacy Carty, Nicholas Pooran (c), Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Yannic Cariah, Alzarri Joseph, Kevin Sinclair New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Tom Latham (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson (c)/Glenn Phillips, James Neesham/Ish Sodhi, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Trent Boult WI vs NZ, 3rd ODI, Probable Top Performers Probable best batter Finn Allen: The 23-year-old young opening batter is in fine touch, and his magnificent knock of a 117-ball 96 runs will back him to put forth yet another thrilling performance in the series decider. With his knock in the previous fixture, he moved to the top of the leaderboard and became the leading run-scorer of the ODI series. Probable best bowler Kevin Sinclair: Spinner Kevin Sinclair is having a dream outing against the visitors. He started off his debut game by taking the crucial wicket of Tom Latham and showcased a brilliant spell in the second ODI by taking four big wickets in the form of Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Tim Southee, and Trent Boult, even though the efforts came in a losing cause. Hence, he will be the bowler to watch out for. Today’s Match Prediction: New Zealand win the match. Disclaimer: This prediction is based on the understanding, analysis, and instinct of the author.
