The Linebet app users need to understand the essential factors for the New Zealand vs. West Indies ODI match, which took place from November 16 to November 22. The three-match One-Day International series between November 16 and November 22 provides both teams, as well as cricket fans in Bangladesh, with a brief opportunity to determine their white-ball lineups before major international tournaments.
Importance for teams
The West Indies use these matches to evaluate their middle-order stability and bowler rotation outside their home country, while New Zealand focuses on developing their reserve players under Rob Walter’s leadership. The remaining ODIs will require New Zealand to select different players because Daryl Mitchell sustained a minor groin tear that makes him unavailable for competition.
A brief overview of past matches
New Zealand leads 2–0 in the series after winning the first match at Hagley Oval on November 16 by seven runs and then winning the second match in Napier on November 19 through a 34-over chase. The first match saw Daryl Mitchell score 119 to win the game while the second match featured Shai Hope’s 109 and Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra’s 90 and 56 respectively to set up the West Indies chase. The New Zealand seamers delivered vital wickets throughout both matches.
Predictions & best markets
The West Indies possess powerful hitters who will create competitive odds for both match winner and top West Indies batter markets during the final ODI on November 22. The absence of Mitchell in the third game makes top-player markets and total-runs prop bets attractive options while you should back NZ’s middle order (Ravindra/Latham) and select wicket-takermarkets for the seamers.
Users who bet on the series through Linebet app should distribute their wagers between match winner and series winner markets while using live in-play markets for game-based hedging strategies. Select value bets from the top batter and top bowler categories and total runs predictions instead of choosing longshot options.
