12BET Predictions: NZ Vs WI Second Test Match

New Zealand will face the Caribbean team in the second Test from this Friday. As the West Indies team already lost the first Test match, they will try their best to win this one to equalise the series.

Nothing has gone right for the Windies so far, as they have lost the T20 series 2-0 already, with the third match abandoned. Post that, they lost the first Test rather easily as well. They are yet to win a game on this tour and will now want to change that by playing better cricket.
