The ninth warm-up match for the looming ICC Cricket World Cup will be played between West Indies and New Zealand at Bristol tomorrow. While New Zealand would be confident after defeating India comprehensively in their first warm-up match, West Indies would be eager to play a full match after their match against South Africa got washed out yesterday.
Before reaching England, New Zealand had whitewashed Bangladesh 3-0 at home before being defeated by India 1-4. On the contrary, West Indies are coming on the back of losing the final of the Ireland Tri-Nation Series against Bangladesh.
