WI vs NZ Pitch Report
The wicket at Sabina Park is known to produce good batting tracks, but the seam bowlers might get some movement with the new ball as well. Team batting first will want to score above 170 runs in order to give a fight to the chasing team. However, the team winning the toss might want to have a bowl first.

WI vs NZ, Probable Top Performers
Probable best batter
Martin Guptill:
Senior batter Martin Guptill was in excellent touch against the Netherlands recently, and he will want to continue his good performance against the Men in Maroon as well. Guptill takes a little time to get settled, but he can do a lot of damage once he gets set.
Probable best bowler
Trent Boult:
Kiwi pacer Trent Boult has returned to the New Zealand squad to face West Indies, and he will want to take some wickets with the new ball. Boult has the ability to swing the new ball both ways, and he can be very dangerous with the ball if the conditions are ideal for pace bowling.
