HAMILTON, New Zealand (AP) — West Indies won the toss and opted to bat Saturday in the third one-day international against New Zealand at Seddon Park.
New Zealand holds an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series after winning the first match by seven runs and the second by five wickets.
Zac Foulkes and Jacob Duffy returned to the New Zealand lineup as the home team continued to manage the workload of its pace bowlers. Daryl Mitchell, who has just become the world’s top-ranked ODI batter, is out of action with a groin injury.
Allrounder Khary Pierre joined the West Indies lineup in place of Romario Shepherd who has been troubled by a hamstring strain.
