WI vs NZ Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of New Zealand Tour of West Indies, 2022 For 1st T20I

WI vs NZ: West Indies will lock horns against New Zealand in the 1st T20I of the New Zealand tour of West Indies, 2022 on Thursday, August 11, 2022, at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica.

New Zealand finished off their month-long Europe tour with 11 wins from as many white-ball fixtures against Ireland, Scotland, and The Netherlands. Mitchell Santander was given the captaincy duties in the absence of the senior key players.

However, for the West Indies tour, all the senior players have returned to the side, including skipper Kane Williamson. The likes of Devon Conway, Trent Boult and Tim Southee have also made a comeback to the team after being rested for more than a month.

West Indies, on the other hand, will be looking for a change of fortune after their humiliating outing against Men in Blue. Obed McCoy, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, Kyle Mayers, and Shimron Hetmyer will be the players to look out for the Caribbean side.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 1st T20I of the New Zealand tour of West Indies, 2022.
