West Indies haven't been consistent in the last few years

West Indies haven’t won a Test series against a top 7 side since 2012 (their last Test series victory was against New Zealand at home in July 2012). Though they have improved in the past year, results haven’t gone their way as they have won just four Tests since the beginning of 2015.

Moreover, most of their batsmen haven’t played in New Zealand before and will need to get accustomed to the conditions. They are also a little susceptible against the moving ball, something we saw in England earlier this year.

In addition to that, West Indies are prone to batting collapses. They have often notched up good first innings totals, only to throw it all away at the second attempt and lose the game.

Hence, New Zealand can exploit these weak points and capitalize on them.
