Many of them participated in the Caribbean Premier League and Indian Premier League in the last three months. It suggests that Windies players will be fresher, especially in the T20 format.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The new vice-captain of WI, Nicholas Pooran, has had a good IPL 2020, which will give him some confidence ahead of the series. Kieron Pollard, too, had a good run with Mumbai Indians playing the finisher role. Shimron Hetmyer and Sheldon Cottrell also had a few decent outings.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The Kiwi players have played a bit of first-class cricket before the series, but they still haven&#39;t played a high-intensity game after the lockdown. James Neesham and Mitchell Santner participated in the CPL as well as IPL but looked rusty. Lockie Ferguson played a few good games for Kolkata Knight Riders as well.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\">New Zealand skipper Tim Southee has recently recovered from an injury and hasn&#39;t had much match practice. With no Trent Boult in the T20 Squad, the bowling is likely to look rusty, especially in the first game.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The Kiwis have generally been a dominating team against West Indies in T20Is, but in the current situation, the visitors are looking slight favorites.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.cricketnmore.com\/assets\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pooran-nich-lg.jpg\" \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-size:14px\">WI VS NZ Head to Head:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>\r\n\t<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Total &ndash;<\/strong> 13<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n\t<li>\r\n\t<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>West Indies &ndash;<\/strong> 3<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n\t<li>\r\n\t<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>New Zealand &ndash;<\/strong> 6<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n\t<li>\r\n\t<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>No Result - <\/strong>1&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n\t<li>\r\n\t<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Tied -<\/strong> 3&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-size:14px\">WI VS NZ Match Preview:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>West Indies -<\/strong> Nicholas Pooran has been named as the Vice-Captain ahead of the series. There are no injury concerns in the team so far.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>New Zealand -<\/strong> Trent Boult has been rested from the T20Is.

There is a 30% chance of rain as well.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-size:14px\">WI VS NZ Pitch Report:&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The Eden Park pitch has been generally good for batting with an average first innings score of 168. The wicket gets slower as the game progresses and might get difficult for the chasing team.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-size:14px\">West Indies VS New Zealand Probable Playing XI:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>West Indies -<\/strong> Kieron Pollard(C), Nicholas Pooran(WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Sheldon Cottrell, Kesrick Williams, Fabian Allen, Oshane Thomas, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Keemo Paul, Brandon King<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>New Zealand -<\/strong> Tim Southee(C), Tim Seifert(WK), Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi, Scott Kuggeleijn, Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-size:14px\">West Indies VS New Zealand Fantasy XI:<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Wicket-keepers - <\/strong>Nicholas Pooran(Captain), Tim Seifert<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Batsmen - <\/strong>Shimron Hetmyer, Ross Taylor, Martin Guptill,&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>All-rounders - <\/strong>Kieron Pollard(Vice-Captain), James Neesham, Fabian Allen<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Bowlers -<\/strong> Sheldon Cottrell, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson<\/span><\/p>\r\n",
