West Indies vs New Zealand 3rd ODI: West Indies had dominated the first ODI but a dramatic batting collapse in the second allowed New Zealand to level the series. The home side collapsed chasing a modest total with New Zealand spinners running riot to expose West Indies’ continuing problems against slow bowling.
With the series now tied, the third ODI becomes a crucial contest before the action shifts to Barbados. West Indies could strengthen their middle order by bringing back explosive left-hander Shimron Hetmyer, while captain Shai Hope will expect a much-improved batting display against spin on a surface that has consistently offered significant turn.
New Zealand, meanwhile, will be full of confidence after their impressive comeback victory. The left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox starred with a five-wicket haul while Mitchell Santner’s spin unit dominated the match from start to finish. The Black Caps will now be looking to carry that momentum into the series decider in Guyana and move one win away from winning the series.
