West Indies skipper Jason Holder has won the toss and opted to bowl in a must-win clash. Darren Bravo, Andre Russell and Shannon Gabriel are out of the side with Carlos Braithwaite, Ashley Nurse and Kemar Roach back in. New Zealand, on the other hand, remain unchanged. 

New Zealand are unbeaten in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 having emerged victorious in four out of their five clashes so far.

There will certainly no shortage of support for the Kiwis as evident from the fans who are out to express their support.
