New Zealand New Zealand have been performing consistently through all their matches, with contributions from all departments. Batting looked pretty solid, with Devon Conway, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Tim Robinson, chipping in at key junctures. Just as effective, bowling has been with Ish Sodhi and Jacob Duffy picking off wickets at regular intervals. The Kiwis would be confident walking into the final T20I, especially after showing good depth in both batting and bowling. They will look to sign off the series on a high note with another commanding performance at home. West Indies The West Indies will be hoping to bounce back to square the series 2-2. Batting has been heavily reliant on Alick Athanaze and Romario Shepherd, who have been among runs in almost every game for them. However, they need more from the rest of the middle order to come good and compete against the Kiwi bowlers. In bowling, Jason Holder, Roston Chase, and Matthew Forde have been the standout performers as far as control and accuracy are concerned. For that, the Windies need to fire collectively to get the better of New Zealand in conditions which generally assist the home team.
