Meaning that it will have help for fast bowling at the start of the match on the first three days and, will get easier for batting on the final two days.

The fast bowlers get the maximum of the wicket during the said time period if they pitch the ball up and make the batters drive to get them out caught by the keeper or in the slips when the ball is new.

They will then have to switch to Plan B once the ball gets old around the 50-60 over mark, and can use the reverse swing to their advantage before the second new ball comes into play.

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

When it comes to the batters, they will have their task cut out on the first three days as the conditions will be conducive for fast bowling, and they will have to hold their ground by keeping the good balls out and pouncing on any opportunity the bowler dishes out to score runs.

The team that wins the toss might look to bowl first and make use of the conditions, which are expected to favour the bowlers.

Another reason why either team should bowl first upon winning the toss is that the surface will ease out for batting in the fourth innings.

400-410 is the score that the team that bats first in the upcoming NZ vs WI Test should look to post on the board.

Conclusion

New Zealand would like to register back-to-back wins in the three-match series against West Indies in order to clinch it, having won the previous game convincingly after a draw in the first.

As far as the West Indies is concerned, the visitors will also back themselves to get one over the BlackCaps to end what has been a rather disappointing tour for them with a win.
