Lean: New ZealandSurface: Pace & bounceToss: bowl firstHome side: West Indies

West Indies meet New Zealand for match 4 of 5 in the New Zealand tour of West Indies, 2026, a ODI at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown. It is listed for Sunday 19 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.

Both sides lean on their pace attack, so the contest is likely to be decided by whoever handles the new ball better. Kensington Oval is a quick, bouncy ground where the pace bowlers get carry and the batters get value, so we expect a pace & bounce surface with a first-innings score around 294–342 for New Zealand and 269–314 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 bowl first. Early movement makes bowling first attractive while the surface still has life.
