NZ vs WI Dream11 Prediction: New Zealand and West Indies kick-start the T20 International series with the first match set to be played at Eden Park, Auckland, on Friday morning (IAT). West Indies will be playing three T20 internationals, followed by a two-match Test series on their tour of New Zealand. Here is NZ vs WI Prediction for this fixture. New Zealand‘s last international game was more than 8 months ago when they were touring neighbour Australia, with the series had to be postponed after only one game, due to Covid-19. But the players are not short of match practice. The domestic season is underway in NZ, while some of the top players were in action in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL). West Indies were the first team to get out of the shell amidst the coronavirus pandemic when they toured England this summer. And the Island nation will certainly aim to get more for their efforts after losing 1-2 in England, despite winning the first test match.

New Zealand are missing two of their best players and West Indies play perhaps their best game in the shortest format. In our NZ vs WI Today Match Prediction odds, we back West Indies to win today NZ vs WI match.
WK: T Steifert, N Pooran (VC) BAT: D Conway, M Guptill (C), R Powell, S Hetmyer All: M Santner Bowl: L Ferguson, T Southee, K Paul, S Cottrell
Nicholas Pooran: The swanky left-handed batsman is hard to contain irrespective of the format he is playing in. There’s no back gear in his batting. All he knows is the front foot batting and his aggression is what makes him a good captain option in Dream 11 Prediction. Martin Guptil: Perhaps one of the finest limited-overs batsmen in NZ’s team at the moment. Guptil can tune his inning around depending on the situation. He is just too good to ignore. Lockie Ferguson: There are not many bowlers around who can bowl at a sear pace, and clock speed around 150 at a regular interval. He can put on a show here. Kieron Pollard: Long gone are the days when he used to hit right from the off, with age he has learned to control the aggression and this is very trait that makes him, even more, a dangerous player.
