NZ vs WI Key battles:
Devon Conway vs Jayden Seales
Devon Conway, who got off to a start but fell a run short of his half-century in the first ODI, would like to make sure that he converts the start into a big score in the next match.
Conway will have to tackle the bowling of Jayden Seales, who bowled well in the previous match, along with picking wickets, and would want to keep up the good work in the second game as well.
Rachin Ravindra vs Matthew Forde
Rachin Ravindra would be itching to get a big score under his belt after a string of poor performances in the recent past.
Ravindra will go head-to-head against Matthew Forde, who got the better of hi in the pening march of the series and would hope to do the same in the second ODI.
Shai Hope vs Jacob Duffy
West Indies' white ball captain Shai Hope would be banked upon to control things for the team while batting in the middle order.
Hope will be up against Jacob Duffy, who will look to pick up his first wicket of the series after going wicketless while bowling well in the previous game.
Roston Chase vs Mitchell Santner
Experienced all-rounder Roston Chase would like to prolong his innings in the second ODI after throwing his wicket away despite getting off to a start in the first match.
Chase will face the challenge of New Zealand's captain, Mitchell Santner, who has the reputation of being economical with the ball in the middle overs and also picks up a wicket or two.
