Strategy Behind The Decision

Devine clarified that she wants to set a strong target and push the West Indies’ side onto their nerves. New Zealand decided to play the same side that won the match against Pakistan in the last match, using the same team as they have not been making too many changes in the team.

Changes In The West Indies Side

However, the West Indies changed their lineup with experience factor by replacing Chedean Nation with a stalwart player in Stafanie Taylor. Taylor had missed the previous match due to a knee injury that allowed Qiana Joseph to walk into the team and score 52 runs off 38 balls.

Historical Context

Before that match, New Zealand and West Indies had faced each other four times in the history of the T20 World Cup, of whom New Zealand won two encounters.
