The New Zealand tour of West Indies, 2026 reaches match 2 of 5 when West Indies face New Zealand in a ODI at Providence Stadium. It is listed for Tuesday 14 July 2026, with the start at 19:30 IST. West Indies have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.
West Indies's edge is their batting depth, while New Zealand's is their pace attack. The side whose strength suits Providence Stadium gets the first say. Providence Stadium is a slow surface that gets slower, so spinners and cutters become important, so we expect a dry / turning surface with a first-innings score around 291–338 for New Zealand and 268–312 for West Indies.
Rain is a real risk at this time of year, so watch the forecast and the covers around the toss. The toss lean is to bat first. The surface is expected to slow and grip, so setting a target is the safer plan.
