Cricket fans across India can look forward to an exciting T20 International series as New Zealand hosts the West Indies for five matches, starting this Wednesday in Auckland. This series holds significant importance as a preparatory ground for the upcoming T20 World Cup. New Zealand, grappling with a number of injuries to prominent players including Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips, Will O’Rourke, and Lockie Ferguson, alongside the recent setback of Tim Seifert, sees this as a prime opportunity for their backup players to step up. In contrast, the West Indies arrive in formidable form, having recently achieved an impressive whitewash in their away T20 series against Bangladesh. This victory signals a return to form for the two-time T20 World Cup winners. While New Zealand’s recent T20 outings have been disrupted by weather, their commanding ODI series win over England provides a confidence boost. Nevertheless, the Black Caps acknowledge the need to elevate their T20 game. The series kicks off on November 5th at Eden Park, Auckland, with the match starting at 11:45 AM IST. The remaining fixtures are slated for November 6th, 9th, 10th, and 13th, with games to be held in Auckland, Nelson, and Dunedin. For Indian viewers, the entire New Zealand vs. West Indies T20I series will be broadcast live on Sony Sports 1 and Sony Sports 1 HD. Live streaming options will be available on SonyLiv and Prime Video.
