Top Batsman

NZ- Kane Williamson

New Zealand captain is a sure shot candidate to score the bulk of runs in this encounter. Just like the previous match, he is expected to score plenty of runs even on this bowling wicket. His average of 66 in Basin Reserve rightly supports this prediction.

WI- Jermaine Blackwood 

He scored 104 off 141 balls in the 2^nd innings of the first Test to save the Windies from an embarrassing defeat. If there is any batsman in the Windies line-up who is capable of negating the Kiwi pacers, then that’s him.

Top Bowlers

NZ- Neil Wagner

He was the top wicket-taker for Kiwis in the first Test. Moreover, his ability to pitch the ball consistently in good areas added with his previous track record of taking at least 5 wickets per match in Basin Reserve makes him the bowler to watch out for in this series.

WI-Shanon Gabriel

With 3 wickets he was the leading wicket-taker alongside Roach in the first match for the visitors. With Roach returning back home, he is expected to contribute more with the ball.
