New Zealand Vs West Indies (New Zealand men’s cricket team vs West Indies men’s cricket team) 2nd ODI LIVE: Hello and a very warm welcome to News18 CricketNext’s live coverage of the second ODI between New Zealand and the West Indies, live from McLean Park in Napier.
New Zealand has won all but one of the completed matches in the series. The visitors started the tour well with a narrow seven-run victory in the first T20I, but it has all gone downhill from there on.
The Kiwis beat them by the same margin in the first ODI. Daryl Mitchell (who has been ruled out due to a groin issue) scored another century (119 off 118) to set up the hosts’ first innings score of 269/7, with Jayden Seales again being a silver lining for the Windies attack with his three wickets. In reply, the West Indies couldn’t find any big scores and lost regular wickets, eventually stumbling to 262/6.
Can they bounce back before it’s too late?
