The West Indies have won four of their last 18 ODIs in New Zealand going back to 2000 when they lost nine straight. The last ODI between the two sides in NZ was the 2015 quarterfinal in which Martin Guptill scored 237 not out and the Black Caps won by 143 runs.

The margin of victory in West Indies last ODI win in New Zealand. That was the 2014 encounter in Hamilton – a dead rubber. The visitors put on a whopping 363 for four with Kirk Edwards (123) and Dwayne Bravo (106) doing the damage. At the time it was the fourth highest score in New Zealand. The Black Caps only managed 160 in reply.
