New Zealand have already clinched the series

Hosts West Indies will lock horns with New Zealand in the final T20I of the three-match series in Jamaica today at 12.00 AM IST. 

New Zealand won the first two games pretty convincingly, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. The Kiwi batting unit has been ruthless in the series, crossing the 180-run mark on both occasions. Although their bowlers were slightly expensive in the first match, they rectified their mistakes with distinction in the last game by restricting the home side to a paltry 125. 

On the other hand, two successive series defeats just prior to the World Cup have raised concerns in the Windies camp. They have been fairly inconsistent with both bat and ball and would like to secure a consolation win to boost their morale. 

Spotlight: Mitchell Santner

The experienced Kiwi all-rounder has exhibited his all-round prowess to perfection in the last few matches. 

Santner starred with the ball in the first two T20Is

After smashing a breathtaking 77* against the Netherlands a few days ago, the tweaker spun his web in the first two matches against West Indies, scalping six wickets at a superb strike rate of 8. Further, his meagre economy of 4.25 suggests how he has exploited the host batters with his guile and accuracy. Therefore, considering Santner's calibre and red hot form, we choose him as the spotlight player in tonight's encounter. 

Key Players

Devon Conway has exhibited his consistency with the bat, amassing 85 runs at a fabulous average of 42.50. 

Odean Smith has shone with the ball for West Indies, picking four wickets at a good average of 15.50. 

Glenn Phillips played a scintillating knock of 76 runs off just 41 balls in the 2nd T20I.

Pitch Report: The venue saw the 170-run mark being breached in three out of four innings in the last two games. So, we expect a batting track offering a little assistance to the bowlers in tonight's game. However, as Mitchell Santner has proved earlier, bowlers can be rewarded here only if they keep hitting the right channel.
