The 26th match of the World Cup is between the West Indies and New Zealand. The West Indies have won two matches so far. Now, they face New Zealand, a team with a strong record against them, having won 8 of the last 10 T20 matches. Glenn Phillips, a key player for New Zealand, has scored 337 runs in 8 innings against the West Indies.
The West Indies were in a relatively easier group but needed some luck to make it to the final eight. That luck came when Afghanistan beat New Zealand, hurting New Zealand’s net run rate.
New Zealand still has three matches to play and needs to win all of them to stay in the race for qualification. However, the West Indies can secure a spot above New Zealand in the standings with a win. Our prediction is that New Zealand will win this match against the West Indies.
