Rating New Zealand's Test record against all Test-playing nations

West Indies

New Zealand maintained a clear dominance over West Indies since the 1996 series between the sides

Played – 47, Won – 15, Lost – 13, Drawn – 19, Win Percentage – 31.91%

Undoubtedly a declining force in world cricket, the West Indies have found it difficult to go past New Zealand in the last few years. West Indies were unbeaten in a Test series between the sides in their first four series; then came a rare series win for New Zealand in 1980 before the West Indies started their dominance again, which lasted until 1996. But since then, only one series has seen New Zealand come second – a 0-2 clean sweep in the Caribbean in 2012.

The loss of big names like Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, and Jerome Taylor has hurt West Indies, something which New Zealand have fully exploited in the recent past. A win percentage of nearly 32 is still only respectable, and New Zealand will hope to improve on it in the upcoming meetings.
