New Zealand vs West Indies Chance of Winning

New Zealand head into this series after a dominant performance in the T20Is and ODI series against West Indies, they won both the series and would be hoping to carry on their form in this game. This is the first series for New Zealand in the new WTC cycle and they ended the last cycle with three wins in three games.

West Indies have struggled to compete in this tour thus far as they got battered in both T20Is and ODIs. West Indies went head to head against India in the last Test series as they lost the series 2-0 and would be hoping for an improvement this term. As per our calculations, New Zealand are favourites in the upcoming game.

New Zealand vs West Indies Prediction & Tips 2025

Kane Williamson heads into this game after struggling to make an impact in the Plunket Shield prior to this game but we expect him to turn things around and play a key role in the upcoming game.

Brandon King has struggled for consistency so far in this calendar year and we expect his struggles to continue in this series. So far he has scored 147 runs with an average of 18.38 which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.
