Mitchell Santner will be happy to have levelled the series with a win in the last game. The side was under immense pressure ahead of the last game after conceding an early lead.

Tim Robinson and Devon Coway will look to deliver a good start and score at a good rate. Mark Chapman played a match-winning knock in the last game, and he will look to build partnerships with Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell. Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner are powerful strikers, and the team expects fireworks from them in the lower middle order.
The bowlers struggled in the last game. Jacob Duffy bowled well in the last game, and he will look to make early inroads with Kyle Jamieson. Zakary Foulkes and Michael Bracewell struggled in the last game, and the team expects a better show from them in the middle overs. Santner must bring his experience to the game and do well against Ish Sodhi.

West Indies Preview
Shai Hope and his team will feel upset with the narrow loss in the last game. It was an excellent run chase from the team, but they failed to get over the finishing line. While the batting lineup did well in the last game, the bowling attack failed to execute its plans. The West Indies skipper would like his team to make a strong comeback and regain the lead with a win.
Brandon King didn't score runs in the last game, and the team expects him to deliver a strong start with Alick Athanaze. Shai Hope must hold the innings together in the middle order and score runs with Ackeem Auguste and Jason Holder. The side has firepower in the lower middle order and expects quick runs from Rovman Powell, Roston Chase, and Romario Shepherd.
The bowling attack had a poor outing in the last game. Jayden Seales struggled with the new ball and must bowl better lines with Matthew Forde. Jason Holder and Akeal Hosein are experienced bowlers and must do well in the middle overs. The team expects a strong showing from Roston Chase and Romario Shepherd in the supporting role.
West Indies Predicted Playing XI:
Shai Hope (c & wk), Alick Athanaze, Brandon King, Ackeem Auguste, Jason Holder, Rovman Powell, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Akeal Hosein, Jayden Seales

Winning Prediction
West Indies struggled with the ball in the last game, and it has been a recurring problem for the team in the last 12 months. The side will need a strong show from the bowlers on a small ground to win. New Zealand has a strong batting lineup and a bowling attack more suited for these conditions. We expect a nail-biting contest, but New Zealand has a slight edge.
