NZ vs WI Key battles:
Devon Conway vs Jayden Seales
New Zealand opener Devon Conway will look to prolong the start that he gets in the upcoming match, which he failed to do in the previous T20I.
Conway will have to tackle the bowling of Jayden Seales, who will be entrusted to pick wickets in the first six overs for the West Indies.
Mark Chapman vs Akeal Hosen
Talented middle-order batter Mark Chapman would hope to build on his match-winning half-century in the second T20I.
Chapman will go head-to-head against Akeal Hosein, who is known for his accurate bowling in all three phases of the innings.
Shai Hope vs Jacob Duffy
West Indies' white ball captain Shai Hope will look to play a match-winning knock for the visitors as the batting lineup of the Windies relies heavily on him to guide the team while batting first or while chasing.
Hope will be up against Jacob Duffy, who will take the new ball for New Zealand and will look to dismiss Hope early in the innings.
Roston Chase vs Mitchell Santner
Experienced all-rounder Roston Chase will play a crucial role for the West Indies while batting in the middle overs, as he has the ability to play spin well, which will come in handy against the New Zealand spinners.
Chase will face the challenge of New Zealand's captain, Mitchell Santner, who bowled a match-winning spell of 3 for 31 in his quota of four overs, and would look to replicate a similar performance in the next match.
