Who's playing?

New Zealand have been without Tim Southee because of a calf injury but he is not fit and available for selection.

Whether he will be picked by the Blackcaps is another matter, especially after the excellent bowling performance against South Africa.

West Indies have ongoing concerns over Andre Russell, who has been troubled by knee and wrist issues during the tournament. Kemar Roach will likely return to the side.


What are the odds?

New Zealand are unbeaten in the tournament so far and have looked very good throughout. West Indies have flattered to deceive, their thumping victory over Pakistan outweighed by dismal defeat by Bangladesh. Sporting Index make Kane Williamson's side 11-21 favourites in the supremacy market with a point awarded for each run won by or 10 points per wicket won by.

There were a massive 33 sixes in the last match played at Old Trafford in this World Cup - 17 off the bat of Eoin Morgan alone - and with the likes of Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis all in action we could see plenty more.

Sporting Index price match sixes at 12.5-13.5.
