Talking about the surface at the Basin Reserve, the venue for the next game, it is expected to be similar to what was offered in the series opener at Hagley Oval.

That particular surface had a lot of help for the bowlers on the first three days of the game and slowed down as the game went into days four and five.

Due to the above-mentioned reason, the bowlers, especially the pacers, will have to make full use of the helpful conditions at the start of the game as it will tilt in favour of the batters in the later stages.

Batters, on the other hand, will have to be patient when the game begins and back their defence to reap the rewards of it when the ball stops doing its thing after pitching or in the air.

As far as the spinners are concerned, they won't get much assistance from the wicket and will have to do the holding job from one end to create pressure on the opposition batters and make things easy for the fast bowlers.

The pitches in New Zealand have been that way for quite some time, at least for the last fifteen years, to put a number to it, which makes for an even contest between bat and ball.

The team that wins the toss might look to bowl first and go away from the tradition of opting to bat in the oldest format of the game.

A score of 410-420 is what the side that bats first in the second NZ vs WI Test should look to post on the board to increase their chances of winning the game while bowling in the second innings.

Conclusion

New Zealand would like to replicate what was a good performance with the bat in both innings of the first Test, taking into account the conditions, which were difficult to bat in the first innings as compared to the second outing.

As far as the West Indies is concerned, the visitors were resilient with both bat and ball as they gave the home team a run for its money and would look to do so in the upcoming game.
