Justin Greaves pulled out of the West Indies’ ODI squad versus New Zealand due to injury before the second and third matches. The team announced the news just prior to kick‑off. Nicholas Hetmyer came into the team as his replacement for those games. He brings fresh energy to the side. The teams retained unchanged squads for the first ODI, and New Zealand will field first in that match. New Zealand's lineup is untouched for the opening match. Liam Livingstone walked off during the opener but returned shortly after. Livingstone's brief exit had limited impact. The change came as the West Indies geared up for the final game. Both sides aim to claim victory in the remaining games. Fans showed disappointment at Greaves' absence but optimism about Hetmyer's inclusion.
