After beating West Indies in the first T20 two days ago, New Zealand will be looking to win the 2nd T20 as well. The West Indians are under pressure as a loss in 2nd T20 will lead to their second successive loss at home after India beat them recently. Windies’ batters have especially disappointed as they are not firing collectively. The same happened against Rohit Sharma’s team not so long ago. The big concer for Windies is the form of their trio: Nicholoas Pooran, Rovman Powell and Shimron Hetmyer, who have struggled to get going consistently.
New Zealand will hope to make no mistakes and come out victorious in the 2nd T20 to seal the series. They have been trying different things to prepare for the T20 World Cup 2022 scheduled to take place in Australia later this year. One positive thing for Black Caps is return of their captain Kane Williamson, who has struggled with his elbow injury in recent past. Williamson played a beautiful innings of 47 runs off 33 balls that included 4 fours and 2 sixes each while batting at No 3. He will look to continue the good form and come in some sort of momentum going into the World Cup where he will lead the Kiwis for their maiden T20 title. Devon Conway was also a huge plus from 1st T20 as he struck quickfire 43 While Jimmy Neesham provided the finishing touch through his 15-ball 33 that included 3 fours and 2 sixes.
