Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 1st ODI of the West Indies vs New Zealand ODI series 2026 between WI vs NZ to be played in Guyana.

New Zealand are on a tour of the West Indies, where these two teams will face each other in five ODIs in July. Both teams will be trying different combinations, with the ODI World Cup 2027 just one year away.

The first ODI is scheduled to be played at Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday at 12 AM IST. Mitchell Santner will lead New Zealand, which is coming off a historic Test series win in England. On the other hand, West Indies also won the recently concluded Test series against Sri Lanka.

But this format will be different, and some of the white-ball specialists will be back for both teams. The West Indies have performed well recently, and the Kiwis have always been competitive in ODIs. So we are in for an exciting series.
