If West Indies win this game, they will ensure their passage to the Super 8s with three consecutive victories. The Windies first beat Papua New Guinea by five wickets in their campaign opener, then prevailed over Uganda by a whopping 134 runs in their second game.

New Zealand, on the other hand, faced a demoralizing 84-run defeat to Afghanistan in their first match and are placed at the bottom of Group C as of now. If the Kiwis do not win today's game, their chances of Super 8 qualification will become slim.
