WI vs NZ Winner Prediction

New Zealand will be desperate to win the game and keep themselves alive in the tournament. This wicket will not be a typical low and slow one like it has been in majority of the venues of the tournament. So, we can expect New Zealand to win the match. 

WI vs NZ Top Player Picks

Nicholas Pooran (WI)

Akeal Hosein (WI)

The left-arm orthodox bowler will has been in a good form in the tournament. Akeal Hosein might play a crucial role against the batters of New Zealand and hence could be a beneficial option for the fantasy contests. 

Finn Allen (NZ)

Johnson Charles (WI)

This West Indian opener is an aggressive batter. Johnson Charles will look to take the attack to the opposition from the start of the innings. The nature of the track at Brian Lara Stadium might favour Johnson Charles with his stroke making and he could be a differential choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

Matt Henry (NZ)
