ROSEAU, Dominica: New Zealand’s batting collapsed under the pressure of an ever-increasing scoring rate as the West Indies claimed a 39-run victory in the second and final Twenty20 International on Sunday night.
Replying to the hosts’ total of 165 for six, the Black Caps lost their last six wickets for 13 runs to be dismissed for 126 off 19.1 overs at Windsor Park in Dominica.
The series finished 1-1 after New Zealand.
Kane Williamson, New Zealand’s captain for the match, topscored with 37 at the top of the order, but it was his dismissal to Kieron Pollard and the demise of Ross Taylor (21) off the bowling of the wily Sunil Narine that effectively spelt the end for the tourists. AFP
