Weather and pitch report

Generally speaking, the Old Trafford Cricket Ground is a batting pitch. Over here, the key will be the toss and opting to bat first regardless of the conditions.

The good news is that the weather won’t play spoilsport between West Indies and New Zealand. The weather is predicted to be sunny throughout the day. So as a result, people will get to witness a proper match.

Prediction for match result

The pressure is on the Windies to somehow try and move up the order, as a top 4 finish will be a tall order. So far, they have endured a miserable campaign at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, losing all but one.

New Zealand, on the other hand, have never been any stronger than they have in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this West Indies vs New Zealand ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 game should go in the Kiwi’s favour. West Indies, for all their boasting of having the strongest batting lineup and breaching 400 runs, have yet to make good on that promise.
