New Zealand Vs West Indies Possible Star Batter Of The Match

Martin Guptill

Martin Guptill is currently one of the most experienced New Zealand batters. He failed to score big runs after getting settled in both the 1st two games of this series.

He is one of the most destructive T20I batters of this era and can demolish any bowling unit on his day.

New Zealand has been brilliant in this series with both bat and bowl. They have outplayed the hosts in the 1st two games of this series. The batters have scored 180 plus in both games and the bowlers have successfully defended the total on both occasions.

On the other hand, West Indies have been struggling in their favorite format. They need to win this game and avoid a whitewash at home. They are looking a completely weak side despite the presence of some T20I giants in their lineup.

The team combination and form of New Zealand is definitely looking a lot better as compared to West Indies. Hence, we predict that New Zealand will beat West Indies in the 3rd T20I of this series.
