New Zealand vs. West Indies: Date, Live Stream, TV Info for Cricket World Cup

Co-hosts New Zealand are one of only two teams at the 2015 World Cup who won all six of their group-stage matches—a feat only equalled by India.

Ahead of the tournament in New Zealand and Australia, many were tipping the Black Caps to go all the way, and they are still in a fine position to do just that, showing tremendous form.

They face an inconsistent West Indies side in Wellington in the last of the quarter-finals, and go into Saturday's clash as heavy favourites to advance to the last four, where South Africa await.

Read on for full details of the Westpac Stadium encounter, including live streaming, television and scheduling information.

Date: Saturday, March 21

Time: 2 p.m. local, 1 a.m. GMT

The West Indies came into the World Cup on the back of a tumultuous year, and after an opening loss to Ireland, they were given little chance of advancing to the knockout stages.

However, they followed up the Irish loss with a crushing defeat of Pakistan and a Chris Gayle-inspired mauling of Zimbabwe—the left-handed opener scored a mammoth 215.

Subsequently downed by South Africa and India—unsurprisingly—a final victory against United Arab Emirates saw them through to the quarter-finals on net run rate.

The likes of Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Darren Sammy and Denesh Ramdin are influential, experienced players, while 23-year-old skipper Jason Holder has proven his mettle at the tournament in a difficult role, per cricket writer Peter Miller:

The Windies have fine personnel and strength in the batting lineup—they have scored 300-plus in three innings so far in the tournament—but they lack consistency, and their bowling unit is weak.

Nowhere is their lack of consistency more apparent than in the performances of Gayle. His 215 against Zimbabwe was magnificent, but in four other innings he has contributed just 64 more runs.

He was injured against the UAE, and while he looks set to return for the quarter-final, he will surely not be 100 per cent fit:

A huge contribution from Gayle—especially if the West Indies are batting first—could swing the match in the Windies' direction, but it seems unlikely against a phenomenal Black Caps side.

Not only do the Kiwis have batting depth galore—see Brendon McCullum, Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Luke Ronchi and Corey Anderson—but also a bowling attack likely to cause trouble for any opponents.

Saturday will see Tim Southee return to the site of his seven-wicket haul against England, and his seam partner Trent Boult is likely to be hugely effective in Wellington also—the pair have 28 wickets between them in the tournament.

Veteran Daniel Vettori has also been on fire at the World Cup so far, taking 13 wickets at an average of 13.69, while conceding extraordinarily few boundaries at what has been a high-scoring tournament, per Opta:

Home advantage and pressure could be seen as a burden, but it has so far worked in favour of one of the most complete teams at the tournament.

New Zealand have shown excellence consistently at this World Cup, and another strong performance on Saturday should see them easily through to the semi-finals.
