AUCKLAND –  West Indies One-Day International (ODI) captain Dwayne Bravo says he is relying on his bowling attack to give his side an advantage in the current five-match ODI series against New Zealand.
West Indies lost the Test series against New Zealand 2-0 but lead the ODI series  1-0 and will go looking for another victory in the second match starting today. (Eastern Caribbean time).
Bravo has heaped praise on his new-ball attack, which includes Ravi Rampaul and Jason Holder, who took two wickets each in the West Indies tense two-wicket win over New Zealand in the opening match of the series on Thursday.
“There’s a confidence in the bowlers and it showed. They put the pressure on the Kiwis and helped our fresh faces integrate into the line-up,” Bravo said.
