Match Preview
NEW ZEALAND
- Four victories in five matches and a rained-out match against India is the perfect start for New Zealand. It is in first place on the ICC World Cup 2019 points table and is in a very good position to press for a semi-final berth.
- Looking a bit closer, though, reveals that New Zealand has a lot of work still left to do.
- New Zealand’s wins have come against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Apart from Bangladesh, the other two teams are not the strongest opponents in this edition of the tournament. New Zealand’s toughest challenges still lie ahead.
- New Zealand also has a very good batting line-up.
- The only major weakness that we see with this New Zealand team is the likelihood of losing early wickets during their attack on the bowling in the first powerplay.

West Indies
- West Indies are currently placed at the seventh spot in the points table with one win, and three losses in the five games played so far.
- Considering that, the importance of their upcoming match cannot be understated. Even though the results haven’t favored them, Windies wouldn’t be too discontent with the position they’re in.
- Up until now in the tournament, it’s their bowling which has been responsible for their decent show so far.
- If they can keep their focus alive and be consistent with their approach, they will be a force to deal with in the upcoming fixture.
