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 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
