The Kiwis would like the batsmen to continue their good performance and repeat the same performance in the third T20 match to put pressure on the opposition bowlers.
The Blackcaps will open the batting with wicket-keeper batsman duo of Devon Conway and Tim Robinson, who both gave a steady start to the team by adding 55 runs for the first wicket in the second match.

Along with the above mentioned batsmen, the captain and team management will also want players like Rachin Ravindra and Michael Bracewell to make valuable contributions in the next match.
Bowlers: Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy
If we talk about New Zealand’s bowling, it was able to maintain its composure against the deep West Indies batting lineup, which almost pulled the game in its team’s favor.
The bowling attack consisting of three spinners in the form of Jacob Duff, Jack Foulkes, Kyle Jamieson and Ish Sodhi, captain Mitchell Santner and Michael Brackwell was able to take wickets at regular intervals, resulting in West Indies being restricted to 204.
New Zealand are expected to go into the third T20 match with the same bowling combination of three spinners and the same number of fast bowlers.
The reason for this is that this match is a one-day match and spinners are expected to play an important role in both the innings.
Additionally, the presence of Ish Sodhi provides balance to the playing eleven as he comes in as a specialist bowler in place of an all-rounder and the team already bats at number nine.
