AI overview
New Zealand get the nod at 74% in this 3rd ODI, with West Indies at 26%. It is a strong lean, not a lock.
Providence Stadium hosts West Indies against New Zealand in the 3rd ODI, number 3 in a 5-match New Zealand tour of West Indies, 2026. It is listed for Thursday 16 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 288–335 for New Zealand and 272–316 for West Indies.
