NZ vs WI Match Prediction: 3rd ODI, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report More – New Zealand vs West Indies ODI Series 2025 

NZ vs WI Match Prediction: New Zealand outperformed West Indies in the first two ODIs to bag the series win. One more win will help them record a 3-0 whitewash. The third and final game will be played at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Saturday at 6:30 AM IST. West Indies have only themselves to blame after losing all the games on this tour. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details of this game.

New Zealand Preview 

Daryl Mitchell was the big miss for New Zealand, but both openers gave them a good start and struck fifties. New Zealand have been more clinical under pressure and haven’t panicked so far. They have managed to get the best out of their players and, under pressure, responded well to win matches.

• Key Batters: Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra will be the batters to watch out for in the third test in Hamilton.
• Captaincy: Captain Mitchell Santner was the game-changer in the second game. His cameo with the bat wins them the match.
• Batting Strength: Runs from Conway, and Ravindra must have boosted the confidence of the batting group. The middle order also looked good in the big chase in the second game. Latham and Santner also played good innings, and the only worry is Will Young and Mark Chapman.
• Bowling Attack: The bowling for New Zealand suffered some hammering in the second ODI. But they came out well in the end. Nathan Smith looked good, and other bowlers also responded well to the challenge. For these conditions, New Zealand have an excellent bowling unit.

West Indies Preview 

West Indies can only blame themselves because they have made errors which has went against. They had 40 runs to defend in three overs, and they gave it away in just 15 balls. So, their death bowling is a big issue, which has cost them some games on this tour.

• Batting: Shai Hope once again showed why he is the best ODI batter for his team currently. He slammed a quick century and made the best platform for other batters as well. The issue is the top order. No one is looking comfortable for them and scoring slowly, which has become consistent now.
• Bowling: The bowling for West Indies in middle overs in both ODIs has been better. But they have leaked runs in powerplay and at the death; they have been wayward, which has gone against them.
