The 2nd T20I match between New Zealand and West Indies in the 2025 series is scheduled for November 6, 2025, at Eden Park, Auckland. West Indies lead the five-match series 1-0 after winning the first game by 7 runs. New Zealand aims to level the series by improving their bowling and batting partnerships, with key players like Mitchell Santner looking to make amends. West Indies will look to maintain their aggressive cricket, led by captain Shai Hope, who performed well in the first match.
The match is broadcasted live on Sony Sports Network, SonyLIV, FanCode, and Amazon Prime Video (app and website) in India. Toss was scheduled around 11:15 AM IST, with the match starting at about 11:45 AM IST.
New Zealand’s batting lineup struggled in the first T20I, with only Mitchell Santner (55 runs) showing resistance. The middle order, including Mark Chapman, Michael Bracewell, and Daryl Mitchell, failed to make significant contributions.
The bowling unit performed well, but the batters need to step up for a series-levelling win. Openers Tim Robinson and Devon Conway are expected to provide a solid start.
West Indies’ batting was anchored by Shai Hope’s composed half-century, with valuable contributions from Roston Chase and Rovman Powell. The team recovered from a shaky start (43/4) to post 164 runs.
The bowling attack, led by Jayden Seales and Roston Chase (three wickets each), was effective in restricting New Zealand to 157.
In T20I history, New Zealand has won 11 out of 21 matches against West Indies, with West Indies winning 8 and 2 matches having no result.
