Justin Greaves pulled out of the West Indies’ ODI squad versus New Zealand because of injury before the second and third matches. The team announced the news immediately before the match. Nicholas Hetmyer came into the team as his replacement for those games. He brings additional firepower to the side. The teams maintained identical line-ups for the first ODI, and New Zealand are scheduled to open the innings in that match. New Zealand's lineup stays the same for the opening match. Liam Livingstone stepped off the pitch during the opener but returned shortly after. Livingstone's brief exit had limited impact. The change came as the West Indies geared up for the final game. Both sides look to secure a win in the upcoming fixtures. Fans voiced disappointment at Greaves' absence but hope regarding Hetmyer's addition.
