Preview:
West Indies will take on New Zealand in the 2nd ODI of the series on Friday. West Indies finally broke their 9-match losing streak as they claimed a convincing win over New Zealand in the 1st ODI by 5 wickets to go 1-0 up in the series. It was a much-needed victory for them after losing 3 straight ODI series on the trot. The match was well set up by the bowlers in the first half where they bowled out the opposition below 200 run-mark and later Shamarh Brooks’ splendid batting display got them home in the end with 11 overs left. Now the momentum has shifted in favor of them and are one win away from clinching the series.
New Zealand, on the other hand, struggled against the quality West Indian bowling attack as a result they lost the series opener by 5 wickets. 20-30 runs more would have made a massive difference in the context of the match. Except for Devon Conway, all the batters got starts however failed to score big runs with skipper Kane Williamson top scoring with 34 runs. Later they tried every possible in defending the marginal target however couldn’t stop fearless Shamarh Brooks who played some eye-catching strokes. It’s a must-win game for them to stay alive in the series.
