West Indies will have to address longstanding batting struggles that have haunted them through the series, with contributions beyond Shai Hope and Justin Greaves coming too sporadically in earlier matches.
Captain Roston Chase and his teammates know they must bat with patience and presence against New Zealand’s seam attack on a surface that traditionally offers movement early on before flattening out. The visitors have made a change to strengthen their batting, but consistency remains a concern as they chase an unlikely series revival.
Bay Oval’s conditions often favor the bowlers in the opening sessions, meaning the toss could play a big role in shaping early advantage. New Zealand have also welcomed back Tom Blundell after injury, giving their batting lineup a boost, while West Indies hope their seamers, led by Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales, can exploit any early swing. With momentum clearly in the home side’s favor, this final Test promises to be a test of patience, technique and temperament for both teams.
