We are all set for the action to begin. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. John Campbell and Ackeem Auguste open up for the West Indies. Jacob Duffy has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

West Indies (Playing XI) - John Campbell, Ackeem Auguste, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (C)(WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Amir Jangoo, Gudakesh Motie, Khary Pierre, Matthew Forde (In for Shamar Joseph), Alzarri Joseph, Vitel Lawes.

New Zealand (Playing XI) - Will Young, Henry Nicholls, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (WK), Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (C), Dean Foxcroft (In for Nathan Smith), Matthew Fisher, Jacob Duffy, Jayden Lennox.

The skipper of West Indies - Shai Hope embraced the challenge of batting first, emphasizing the need for his team to adapt and execute their plans on a surface that looks very similar to previous encounters. He confirmed one change to their side, bringing in Matthew Forde to replace Shamar Joseph. Hope also praised the immediate impact of youngster Vitel Lawes, highlighting his enjoyment of the game and a rare, valuable skill set that gives the Caribbean side a unique boost.

The captain of New Zealand - Mitchell Santner says that they will bowl first. Adds that they will exploit the slow daytime pitch before the surface improves under lights. Reflecting on their close defeat in the first ODI, Santner emphasized the need for better execution after the team threw away a strong position and fell short with the bat in the final ten overs. Looking to maximize the conditions, the Kiwis made a solitary tactical adjustment to their lineup, bringing in Dean Foxcroft as an extra spin option to replace Nathan Smith.

TOSS - New Zealand have won the toss and will BOWL first.

A big battle ahead - Looking at the team sheets we have some news coming from the camps. The hosts will miss the services of Justin Greaves due to a back injury but the explosive Shimron Hetmyer returns to the squad fresh from his stint in the MLC. There is also a huge chance that all rounder Roston Chase returns to the playing XI if he recovers from his finger injury. With New Zealand desperate to bounce back and the West Indies riding a wave of immense confidence this encounter promises to be an absolute thriller. Stick around as the toss is just moments away.

Maroon Army aiming to maintain the squeeze - The West Indies will want to build on their clinical performance but they still have areas to fine tune. Their bowling unit will aim to replicate the execution that triggered the stunning Kiwi collapse especially with the nineteen year old sensation Vitel Lawes turning heads with his unique left arm wrist spin. The home side batters showed masterclass composure during that massive one hundred and thirty one run stand between Keacy Carty and skipper Shai Hope and they will want to carry that same ruthless mindset to completely deflate the opposition bowling attack today.

Black Caps seeking batting discipline - For New Zealand the primary learning from the opening fixture is the need for late innings composure. They cannot afford to squander brilliant platforms after losing their final six wickets for just thirty three runs last time around. Their dynamic top order batters like Daryl Mitchell and Will Young need to convert their starts into massive match winning centuries. More importantly their bowling group must find a way to break partnerships in the middle overs and apply sustained pressure rather than letting the game drift away.

A scorching start in Guyana - A very warm welcome to cricket fans everywhere as we bring you the coverage of the second ODI between the West Indies and New Zealand. The hosts are absolutely buzzing after pulling off the second highest successful ODI chase at this venue to take a 1-0 lead in this five match series. Tonight the Men in Maroon will look to double their advantage and tighten their grip on the series while the Black Caps face a quick turnaround to keep the hosts within touching distance.

... MATCH DAY ...

Round two in Guyana - The first blow has been landed by West Indies, and New Zealand have little time to dwell on it as the teams meet again at the Guyana National Stadium for the second ODI of this five-match series. After two washouts in the Sri Lanka series robbed them of valuable points in the race for direct World Cup qualification, this was a much-needed victory for the Men in Maroon. New Zealand's last ODI assignment ended in a 2-1 series defeat in Bangladesh, and they now find themselves trailing in the Caribbean as well. Mitchell Santner's side will be eager to mount a swift response. A lesson in conversion - New Zealand will feel they let a golden opportunity slip away in the series opener. At 234/4 after 43 overs, they looked well placed for a total in excess of 300, only to lose their final 6 wickets for just 33 runs. Their inability to convert starts also hurt them. Every batter in the top 7 crossed 20, but only Daryl Mitchell went on to register a half-century. As the Kiwis look to hit back, the onus will be on the batting group to make those starts count, with individuals needing to take responsibility and play the innings that can define the match. Plenty to smile about - One of the biggest positives for West Indies from the series opener was the emergence of left-arm chinaman Vitel Lawes. Remarkably, it was his first senior appearance in any format after graduating through the Under-19 ranks, and he played a key role with a three-wicket haul. To fight back from a position where New Zealand looked destined for 300-plus and bowl them out for 267 was a commendable effort that would have pleased captain Shai Hope. Hope then led from the front with the bat, finishing unbeaten on 87 to guide his side home and continue his outstanding run in ODIs. In fact, he is the only Windies batter to have scored more than 500 ODI runs over the past year, underlining just how vital he has been to the batting unit. Keacy Carty is the next highest with 283 runs, and it was no surprise to see the pair combine for a match-winning stand in the series opener. Team form (Last 5 completed ODIs, recent first) - WI - WLLLL | NZ - LLLWW. Conditions in focus - It was a slow, low surface served up in the series opener, one that, by Shai Hope's admission, became slightly easier to bat on under lights as the ball started to skid on rather than hold in the pitch. Showers are expected in the morning, but the weather should clear by the time play gets underway. With the surface likely to improve as the game progresses and the potential rain leaving a bit of moisture in the pitch, the captain winning the toss is expected to lean towards bowling first. All in all, the ingredients are in place for another intriguing contest.
