PRE-MATCH

After series clean sweeps in the Test and ODI series', the Black Caps face the Windies in the shortest format of the game, with today's match the first of three over the next week.

New Zealand face the world champions in their preferred format, although the visitors are missing star names like Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Marlon Samuels and skipper Jason Holder.

The hosts meanwhile, will be without their captain - Kane Williamson - for this first match, with Tim Southee leading the side for the very first time.

Explosive opener Martin Guptill returns to the side, and will open the batting with either Colin Munro or youngster Glenn Phillips, while 33-year old Anaru Kitchen could also be in line for his international debut.
