A significant blow has hit the New Zealand camp as Daryl Mitchell has suffered a groin strain, jeopardizing his availability for the remainder of the ODI series against the West Indies. Mitchell was instrumental in New Zealand’s victory in the first ODI, scoring a commanding 119 runs. His century was a pivotal moment in the tight contest, which New Zealand clinched by a mere seven runs. The injury sustained during his exceptional innings means he will not be participating in further matches until assessed. This news comes as a major setback, particularly with New Zealand already grappling with numerous player absences. The team’s ability to overcome this latest obstacle will be keenly watched as they aim to secure the series.
