By the time this article is published, the first day of the opening match of the test series between West Indies and New Zealand should have been completed and day one proceedings may or may not provide some sort of indication of how the series is likely to pan out.
Three likely scenarios are on the cards and ardent cricket followers are either expecting New Zealand to pile it on to end the day beyond the 300-run mark, rue another West Indian collapse with the bat, or cheer a surprising West Indian display of brilliance to cap off the opening day.
You can bet your dollar on what outcome is likely based on the calibre and previous performances of the two sides.
