New Zealand is playing again the co-hosts of the T20 World Cup 2024, West Indies in the 26th match. This match is being played at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba.

Kane Williamson, the Kiwi skipper won the toss and decided to field first. They are hunting their first win of the tournament after a crushing defeat against Afghanistan. In their first match against the Asian side the batting order failed to show any kind of resilience. The team management have went ahead and made three changes to bring more balance in both the trades.

Here are the changes of the New Zealand team for this game. 

Time Southee, Jimmy Nisham and Rachin Ravindra are in, while Mark Chapman, Michael Bracewell and Matt Henry are out.

The West Indian skipper, Rovman Powell expressed his views that they too would have bowled first on winning the toss. The co-hosts of the tournament have won both their games and will be looking to ensure their qualification to the Super Eights with a win in this game. They are going into this game with the same side from the match against Uganda.
