They haven't won an ODI series in New Zealand since 1995 when the likes of Brian Lara and Curtly Ambrose were wearing the West Indies maroon. Black Caps skipper Kane Williamson and pace bowler Tim Southee will only play in the opening game of the series before being rested for the next two matches in Christchurch.

Today is the second ODI to be played in Whangarei. The only other time the Black Caps have played at Cobham Oval was in 2012 when New Zealand cruised to a 141-run win over Zimbabwe.

Key players

New Zealand - Colin Munro
He's opening the batting, is in good touch, hits a big ball and is determined to make the most of his chance at the top of the order. Should be entertaining.

West Indies - Chris Gayle
Simple really. The big man makes his New Zealand bow, probably for the final time, and
he can inspire the Windies batting lineup to lift their game.

Squads
New Zealand: (from) Kane Williamson (c), George Worker, Colin Munro, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Tom Latham, Todd Astle, Doug Bracewell, Adam Milne, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, Matt Henry, Trent Boult.
