Says they are aware of the threat West Indies possess as they have World class players. On the low scoring games New Zealand have had, Williamson informs one can play to what is in front of them and now that they will put on a good total on the board in this game. Informs they are unchanged from their previous game.

West Indies skipper, Jason Holder says it is a pretty good wicket and hence the decision to field. Says they know how crucial this game is and need to step up on the occassion.

Holder informs there are three changes in the playing XI as Nurse, Roach and Braithwaite come in place of Russell, Bravo and Shannon Gabriel.

TOSS - We are all in readiness for the toss. West Indies skipper, Jason Holder has the coin in hand. Up it goes, New Zealand skipper, Kane Williamson calls Tails but it comes down as Heads. WEST INDIES OPT TO BOWL.
