Team West Indies broke their losing streak in the ODI fixtures after defeating New Zealand in the first 50-over match played at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, on August 17 (Wednesday). The Men in Maroon bowlers were excellent with their line and lengths as they restricted the visitors to just 190/10 in 45.2 overs before chasing down the total easily.

Coming to the second match, the home team will want to win the second fixture and seal the series. The Kiwi side on the other hand will want to win the contest at any cost and level the series. Skipper Kane Williamson will also want to have a good outing with the bat and give a match-winning contribution.

WI vs NZ, 2nd ODI, Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

Kane Williamson:

Skipper Kane Williamson had a decent outing in the first ODI match as he scored 34 off 50 balls, hitting four boundaries before being scalped by pacer Alzarri Joseph. The prominent Kiwi batter will look to play a big knock for his team and try to win the game for his side.

Probable best bowler

Akeal Hosein:

Spinner Akeal Hosein had an outstanding outing against the Blackcaps during the first ODI match and he will be looking to repeat his antics in the second ODI fixture as well. The left-arm spinner scalped three crucial wickets for his side and bowled at an excellent economy of 2.80.
