Akshay Thakur - Friday, Nov 21, 2025New Zealand vs West Indies 3rd ODI Pitch Report: New Zealand and West Indies are gearing up for the final match of their ongoing series as they prepare to face each other in the third and final ODI on Saturday, November 22, at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
After losing the five-match T20I series 4-0, the visiting West Indies continued their poor form in the ODI leg of the ongoing series. The hosts won the first match by seven runs, and continued their form in the second match, winning by five wickets. New Zealand will be looking to end this leg with another whitewash.
West Indies have shown fighting spirit with special performances like Shai Hope's century in the second ODI, but they need more support from other players to challenge effectively.
NZ vs WI 3rd ODI Pitch Report: The Seddon Park pitch in Hamilton is generally considered a good batting surface, offering consistent bounce and pace, making it ideal for high-scoring ODI matches. The ground features a flat track with short boundaries, which favors batsmen and encourages aggressive stroke play. However, the pitch may initially offer some assistance to fast bowlers, especially with the new ball, due to seam movement and bounce.
