West Indies vs New Zealand 1st ODI Match Prediction 

Match:  WI vs NZ ODI Match Prediction 
Time:  17 Aug, 11:30 PM (IST) 
Series:  1st ODI Match 
Venue:  Kensington Oval – Bridgetown, Barbados 

WI vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: 

• Shai Hope scored 115 against India in his 100th ODI at the Queen’s Park Oval last month and the opener is our pick for West Indies’ highest run scorer in this game. We are backing Akeal Hosein to be West Indies’ top wicket taker in this ODI. He has a strong record in this format and should get plenty of assistance from the pitch.
• Kane Williamson averages 47.48 in this format and has hit 13 centuries since making his debut in 2010. The captain is a strong choice for New Zealand’s highest run scorer on Wednesday. With the ball, our tip to be top wicket taker is left-arm fast bowler Trent Boult. He is equally as effective at the start, middle and end of the innings and has excellent control.

Weather & Pitch Report:  

⛅ Weather:

There could be the odd shower around the start of the game but we expect dry and fine conditions for the rest of the match with the temperature peaking at 31 degrees.

Pitch Report:
This wicket generally provides more for the spin and slower bowlers rather than the pacers. Any score over 280-290 will be tough to chase down.

Toss Prediction: 

The team batting second has won five of the last seven ODIs at this venue and we predict that both captains will want to field first if they win the toss ahead of this match.

WI vs NZ Team News: 

WI Team News: 

After being rested for the final IT20 on Sunday, we expect skipper Nicholas Pooran to come back and lead the team in this game. There is no place in the squad for Rovman Powell or Romario Shepherd with Roston Chase ruled out through injury.

NZ Team News: 

There was no room for sentimentality or handing out caps to new players in the final IT20 with only Trent Boult rested. This series could be slightly different with still over a year until the ODI World Cup but we expect the Black Caps to put out their strongest XI for this opener.

WI vs NZ Pre-Toss LineUps: 

Small League Team: Pre-Toss

Winning Chances: 

West Indies showed plenty of character to get the win in the final IT20 and, although there are some different players in this side, they will need to find the same spirit if they are to trouble New Zealand in this opening ODI. The hosts pushed India close in this format last month and we expect the same in this game but are predicting a win for New Zealand.

Final Verdict

New Zealand are favourites to beat West Indies

WI Key Players: 

Shai Hope: 
The opener takes on the vice-captaincy as well as the wicket keeping duties in this series. He averages 49.58 after 101 ODIs.

Brandon King: 

The top order batter has struggled with his fitness this summer but has been one of West Indies’ most consistent batters when available. He hit 53 runs from 35 balls against the New Zealand attack on Sunday.

Akeal Hosein: 

The left arm spinner has taken wickets in 22 of his 26 ODIs since making his debut in January 2021. His best figures in this format are 4-39 against Netherlands earlier this year.

NZ Key Players: 

Kane Williamson: 

The skipper has only played two ODIs since the World Cup Final defeat, via a Superover, in 2019. However, he is an all-format player and will be looking forward to batting again in this game.

Lockie Ferguson: 
There are some doubts as to whether Ferguson has the fitness to be able to fire in the T20 World Cup, so this series will give him the opportunity to show that he can deliver with the white ball in a longer format.

Trent Boult: 

The opening bowler is one wicket away from bringing up his 550th wicket for New Zealand. Only Richard Hadlee, Tim Southee and Daniel Vettori have more.
