WI vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis
West Indies and New Zealand are set to face off in the second ODI of the five-match series at Providence Stadium, Guyana. After a dominant performance in the series opener, the hosts hold a 1-0 advantage and will be eager to strengthen their position, while New Zealand will be desperate to bounce back and avoid falling further behind.
West Indies have enjoyed a positive start to the series, registering a comfortable seven-wicket win in the opening ODI. Their recent ODI form has been mixed, with one win, two defeats, one no result, and one abandoned match in their last five completed fixtures.
New Zealand, meanwhile, have struggled lately, losing three of their last five ODIs despite winning the other two. The Black Caps will need a much-improved display with both bat and ball if they are to square the series.
The overall recent head-to-head record still favours New Zealand, who have won four of the last five ODIs against West Indies, while the Caribbean side has won one. However, West Indies broke that run with an impressive victory in the first ODI and will take confidence from that result heading into this contest.
With momentum on their side, West Indies will be aiming to extend their lead to 2-0 and put New Zealand under even more pressure. The visitors, meanwhile, will be determined to produce a stronger all-round performance and level the five-match series at 1-1 before the remaining three ODIs.

West Indies Preview
West Indies made an excellent start to the five-match ODI series by defeating New Zealand by seven wickets in the opening match at Providence.
Chasing 268, the hosts produced a composed batting performance to reach the target with seven balls to spare. Keacy Carty anchored the innings with a superb 95 off 112 balls, while captain Shai Hope remained unbeaten on 87 off 92 balls. Opener Ackeem Auguste added a valuable 38, and Sherfane Rutherford finished the chase with an unbeaten 22 off 16, ensuring a comfortable victory.
The bowling attack was equally impressive after New Zealand opted to bat first. Alzarri Joseph starred with the ball, claiming 4 wickets for 41 runs in 8.5 overs, while Vitel Lawes provided excellent support with 3/54.
Left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie chipped in with 2 wickets, helping West Indies dismiss New Zealand for 267 in 49.5 overs. The attack looked disciplined throughout the innings and consistently picked up wickets at crucial moments.
With confidence high after their dominant all-round display, West Indies will once again rely on their experienced middle order and in-form pace attack to take a 2-0 lead in the series. If the top order provides another solid platform and the bowlers continue their disciplined performances, the hosts will be difficult to stop.

New Zealand Preview
New Zealand suffered a seven-wicket defeat in the opening ODI after posting 267 all out in 49.5 overs, allowing West Indies to chase the target with seven balls to spare.
Despite the loss, the batting unit produced several useful contributions. Daryl Mitchell led the scoring with 65 off 73 balls, while Will Young added 49, Michael Bracewell made 29, and both Henry Nicholls and Mark Chapman scored 27 each. However, the visitors failed to convert those starts into a bigger total and lost wickets at regular intervals during the middle and death overs.
The bowling attack struggled to defend the target as West Indies chased comfortably. Jacob Duffy, Jayden Lennox, and Michael Bracewell picked up one wicket each, while Mitchell Santner bowled an economical spell of 10-0-42-0. However, the remaining bowlers were unable to apply sustained pressure, allowing Keacy Carty and Shai Hope to build a match-winning partnership that guided the hosts to victory.
New Zealand will now be aiming to bounce back in the second ODI and level the series at 1-1. They will expect experienced players like Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, and Mitchell Santner to lead from the front, while the bowling unit must improve its execution if they are to keep the five-match series alive.
Key Players: Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell
NZ Over/Under Betting Tips
Daryl Mitchell Total Runs Over 30.5 @ 1.85
Daryl Mitchell carried the New Zealand innings in the first ODI scoring 65 runs in 73 balls. Mitchell has been in prolific form in 2026 scoring 417 runs in 4 matches with two 50's and two 100's. Given his current run of form, we back Mitchell to score over 30 runs in the 2nd ODI match against West Indies at Providence Park.

WI vs NZ
Winning Prediction
West Indies will be full of confidence after their convincing seven-wicket win in the opening ODI and will also enjoy the advantage of playing at home. However, New Zealand remain a quality ODI side with an experienced batting lineup and a balanced bowling attack. They have also been the better team in recent head-to-head meetings and possess enough experience to respond strongly after a defeat.
Although West Indies carry momentum into the second ODI, New Zealand's stronger overall squad, better recent ODI record, and ability to bounce back under pressure give them a slight edge.
