St Kitts: Jul 11, 2012

 

West Indies captain Darren Sammy has won the toss and elected to bowl first in the third One-Day International (ODI) against New Zealand at St Kitts.

 

West Indies earlier took a crucial 2-0 lead in the five-match series with a handy 55-run win over the Black Caps at Sabina Park on Saturday.

 

Last Thursday, they won the opener by nine wickets at the same venue.

 

The visistors are clearly desperate for a win. Off-spinner Nathan McCullum said the beleaguered New Zealand have no choice but to win the third One-Day International at Warner Park.

 

Teams

 

West Indies: Johnson Charles, Chris Gayle, Dwayne Smith, Marlon Samuels, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Andre Russell, Darren Sammy (c), Sunil Narine, Ravi Rampaul

 

New Zealand: Rob Nicol, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson (c), Daniel Flynn, BJ Watling (wk), Jacob Oram, Tom Latham, Nathan McCullum, Tim Southee, Kyle Mills, Trent Boult
