Match New Zealand vs West Indies Date 5 November 2025 Time 11:45 AM IST Venue Eden Park, Auckland NZ vs WI Match Preview:
New Zealand will be desperate to win the upcoming series in order to avoid a third straight T20I series loss. They have already lost two T20I series at home in the ongoing season. They lost the three-match series against Australia by a margin of 2-0 before England beat them 1-0 in the other three-match series.
After the T20I series against England, New Zealand bounced back in style in the ODI series. They whitewashed the visitors in the three-match series and will be keen to build on that impressive victory.
Meanwhile, the Black Caps will be without a number of key players for the series. The likes of Finn Allen (foot), Lockie Ferguson (hamstring), Adam Milne (ankle), Glenn Phillips (groin), Ben Sears (hamstring) and Tim Seifert (finger) will miss the series due to injury.
