Top Batter New Zealand
Tim Seifert and Tim Robinson are the top batters for New Zealand in the T20i format this year. However, Tim Seifert is not part of the series because of his finger injury. In his absence, Tim Robinson will be expected to score most of the runs for the team.
We expect Tim Robinson to be a safe bet and James Neesham to be a risky bet.
Our Prediction
Bet on Tim Robinson (Safe Bet), Bet on James Neesham (Punt bet)

Top Bowler West Indies
Jacob Duffy is the leading wicket-taker for New Zealand in the T20i format this year. He has scalped 25 wickets in 16 matches at an economy of 7.72. Zakary Foulkes will be another key bowler to watch out for. In the recently held T20i series against England, Foulkes scalped 7 wickets in 3 matches at an economy of 5.05.
I will pick a safe bet with Jocob Duffy, but Nathan Smith will be the risky bet.

Bet on Jacob Duffy
