WI vs NZ 2nd T20I Dream11 prediction today: Fantasy cricket tips for West Indies vs New Zealand match

Losing finalists in the T20 World Cup in 2021 New Zealand will hope to win the second T20I match in a row and seal the three-match T20I series against the hosts, West Indies, in Kingston on Friday (August 12). The Blackcaps won the series opener by 13 runs, and a positive result today will help them seal the series.

West Indies, the two-time T20 World Cup champions, would like to end their winless streak in white-ball matches. Since getting the better of Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series last month by a margin of 2-0, the Men in Maroon have lost 11 out of the last 12 matches played in ODIs and T20Is combined.

They were whitewashed by both India and Bangladesh in ODIs and were only able to win one T20I against India and lost the other four in the five-match series. On Wednesday (August 10), in the series opener against New Zealand as well, the poor run of form was on display and Nicholas Pooran & Co. lost the contest by 13 runs to go 0-1 down in the three-match series.

With no margin of error left now, the Men in Maroon now have to lift their spirits and come up with a better show in the remaining two matches if they have to save themselves from the embarrassment of losing four back-to-back white-ball series at home.

The second match between the Kiwis and West Indies will also take place at the same venue as that of the first – Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.
