NZ vs WI Pitch Report:

The pitch at Eden Park, Auckland, is known for its true bounce and even pace, offering an excellent surface for stroke play. Batters generally enjoy the conditions here, especially with the short straight and square boundaries that make run-scoring easier and often result in high totals. Fast bowlers can find some early movement with the new ball, particularly when there’s a bit of cloud cover, but as the match progresses, batting becomes more comfortable. Spinners have limited assistance from the surface, though they can still play a role in the middle overs by varying their pace and using the larger side boundaries strategically. The outfield is lightning quick, rewarding well-timed shots, while defending totals can be challenging due to the ground’s dimensions. Overall, Eden Park is considered a batting-friendly venue, with teams often preferring to chase under lights.

Batters to Watch (Recent Form):

Tim Seifert (New Zealand)
Tim Seifert has been in excellent touch with the bat, scoring 288 runs in his last 10 matches at an impressive average of 48 and a brisk strike rate of 141.17. Known for his aggressive stroke play at the top, he’ll be key in giving New Zealand a flying start at Eden Park.

Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand)
Rachin Ravindra continues to impress as a versatile batter. In his last 7 games, he’s made 161 runs at 32.2 average with a blistering 159.4 strike rate, showcasing his ability to dominate both pace and spin in the middle overs.

Alick Athanaze (West Indies)
Alick Athanaze has quietly become a dependable presence in the West Indies lineup. With 149 runs in 5 matches at an average of 29.8 and 133.03 strike rate, he brings stability and flair to the Caribbean top order.

Amir Jangoo (West Indies)
Amir Jangoo has been consistent in recent outings, notching up 143 runs from 4 games at an impressive average of 47.67. His ability to rotate strike and accelerate when needed makes him a crucial part of the Windies’ middle order.

Bowlers to Watch (Recent Form):

Jacob Duffy (New Zealand)
Duffy remains a reliable option in New Zealand’s pace attack, having picked up 8 wickets in 8 matches. While his economy of 9.19 suggests he can be expensive, his knack for striking early makes him dangerous in powerplay overs.

Michael Bracewell (New Zealand)
Bracewell offers great control and variation in the middle overs. He has taken 5 wickets in 7 games with an 8.88 economy, often providing crucial breakthroughs when partnerships start to build.

Jason Holder (West Indies)
Jason Holder has been the standout bowler for the Windies, claiming 20 wickets in his last 10 matches at an exceptional strike rate of 11.4. His experience and clever use of variations make him a constant threat with both the new and old ball.

Akeal Hosein (West Indies)
Akeal Hosein continues to shine as the Windies’ go-to spinner, taking 15 wickets in 10 matches while maintaining a miserly 5.78 economy rate. His accuracy and ability to control the game’s tempo could be vital in restricting New Zealand’s scoring.

Expected Scores:

1st Innings Expected Score: 165–180 runs

2nd Innings Expected Score: 160–175 runs

Key Notes:

Teams winning the toss may prefer to bat first to avoid chasing under dew-heavy conditions.

Top-order partnerships will be crucial; quick starts from openers like Shai Hope (WI) and Tim Robinson (NZ) can set the tone.

Roston Chase for West Indies and Mitchell Santner for New Zealand are likely to influence both with bat and ball.

Expected totals in the 165–180 range suggest a close, high-pressure finish.

Dew in the second innings may favor the chasing side slightly, making fielding accuracy critical.
