Justin Greaves pulled out of the West Indies’ ODI squad versus New Zealand after sustaining an injury before the second and third matches. The team announced the news just prior to kick‑off. Nicholas Hetmyer was added to the squad as his replacement for those games. He brings fresh energy to the side. The teams maintained identical line-ups for the first ODI, and New Zealand will field first in that match. New Zealand's lineup stays the same for the opening match. Liam Livingstone left the field during the opener before returning. Livingstone's brief exit did not affect the flow. The change came as the West Indies prepared for the series finale. Both sides look to secure a win in the remaining games. Fans expressed disappointment at Greaves' absence but optimism about Hetmyer's inclusion.
