The West Indies will be looking to rebound when they face hosts New Zealand in Auckland in the fourth one-day international today.
The match is scheduled to bowl off at 6 o’clock (Jamaica Time).
New Zealand will start favourite following a comfortable seven wicket-win in the third one-day international on Tuesday night to level the series 1 all.
Following the heavy defeat, West Indies captain Chris Gayle says he still believes the team can win the five-match series.
Uncapped opening batsman Martin Guptill has been added to New Zealand’s 12-man squad.
The 22-year-old replaces the out-of-form Jamie How, who was dismissed for a duck in New Zealand’s win in the third match.
All-rounder Jacob Oram has been released from the squad so that he can recover from injury.
