Live Cricket Score: New Zealand vs West Indies, 3rd Test Day 1

New Zealand will look to extend good display when they face the West Indies.

Dec 19, 2013

New Zealand will look to extend their sterling display when they face the West Indies in the third Test match at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Thursday.

After an impressive display by the hosts in the second Test in Wellington, the kiwis would look to earn another victory against the tepid West Indians.

While New Zealand would want to keep their winning combination intact, West Indies suffered a huge setback when their in-form spinner Shane Shillingford was temporarily banned from all forms of cricket on the grounds of a suspect bowling action.

T20 specialist Sunil Narine is expected to take Shillingford’s place as the front-line spinner.

Teams :

New Zealand (probable)  Hamish Rutherford, Peter Fulton, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum (c), Corey Anderson, BJ Watling (wk),  Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner,  Trent Boult

West Indies (probable)  Kieran Powell,  Kirk Edwards,  Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Shivnarine Chanderpaul,  Narsingh Deonarine,  Denesh Ramdin (wk), Darren Sammy (c),  Sunil Narine, Tino Best,  Shannon Gabriel
