Just after the five-match T20 series, we are here with a three-match ODI series between New Zealand and the West Indies. The first ODI is all set to be played on the 16th of November. Both teams have announced their team squads, and there are some changes. What do you think, who dominates the New Zealand vs West Indies Head-to-head record in the ODI format?
The West Indies team will want to bounce back stronger as they lost the T20 series 3-1. They started well, but then fell off in the next games. One thing that might be a positive side for the West Indies team is that the margin was not that big. It is just the moments they need to capitalize on that can win them the game.
