New Zealand face West Indies in the second ODI at McLean Park, Napier, leading the series 1–0
Toss delayed due to rain, with steady showers holding things up
NZ hold momentum, while WI look to bounce back
New Zealand are gearing up to meet West Indies in the second ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday, November 19, at McLean Park in Napier, though rain has already pushed back the start of play. The hosts walk in with a 1–0 lead after edging out a tight seven-run win in the opener.
That first match swung New Zealand’s way thanks to Daryl Mitchell’s superb century and Kyle Jamieson’s three wickets, giving the Kiwis early control in the series. They’ll be hungry to ride that momentum and lock things up in front of their home crowd.
West Indies, though, had their moments. Jayden Seales impressed with the ball, and Sherfane Rutherford fought hard in the chase before running out of partners. The visitors now arrive in Napier with a clear target: regroup, respond, and keep the series alive.
