NZ vs WI Saxton Oval Pitch Report:
New Zealand and the West Indies will look to take a 2-1 lead in the ongoing five-match T20I series when they take on each other in the upcoming game at the Saxton Oval in Nelson.
If we talk about the pitch at this particular venue, it is expected to be good for batting, which will have something in it for bowlers as well.
The batters will have to play with caution in the first few overs, as the ball might do a bit in the air and off the surface.
If the batters can see off the first couple of overs without much damage, even if they don't score a lot of runs, they will have the opportunity to make up for it in the next four overs, with only two fielders allowed outside the thirty-yard circle.
As far as the bowlers are concerned, the pacers can make use of the initial help that will be available in the wicket when the ball is new.
Having said that, they will get help only when they pitch the ball in the right areas and let it do its thing.
Spinners, on the other hand, will also play a vital role in the match, with it being a day game, which means that dew won't play its part in the game.
The slow bowlers can also extract some turn from the wicket if they bowl a bit slow and allow the ball to spin.
The team that wins the toss should look to bat first and post a total of at least 200-210 runs on the board to get the opposition batters under pressure.
The team that succeeds in winning the match in question will have a huge advantage going into the fourth game, as they will need to win just one game to clinch the series.
Conclusion
New Zealand would want to continue the momentum that they have gained courtesy of a win in the second T20I against West Indies and register a win in the next game as well to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
As far as the West Indies is concerned, the visitors wouldn't be too disappointed with the result of the previous match, as they were just one hit away from winning it, and would look to get the job done in the upcoming game.
