West Indies will start favourites when they take on New Zealand in the ICC T20 World Cup at the Brian Lara Cricket stadium, today.
West Indies have won their two opening matches against Papua New Guinea and Uganda and another win will guarantee them a place in the Super 8.
Captain of the West Indies, Rovman Powell, says the Caribbean team will enter the contest full of confidence having won their last 5 matches.
Meanwhile, New Zealand is in some trouble.
The big defeat against Afghanistan has hampered their chances and adversely affected their net run rate.
If they lose to the West Indies they have very little chance of making it to the next round.
However, Powell says the Kiwis, the perennial underdogs, have always overachieved in ICC tournaments.
He says winning the World Cup on home soil will cement their players name in West Indies cricket history.
