New Zealand beat West Indies by 5 wickets

Commentary

11:56 PM IST Series levelled - With this dominant bowling display, New Zealand secures a convincing victory to level the 5-match ODI series at 1-1. The action now shifts to the third ODI, scheduled to take place on July 17 at 6.30 am GMT. Join us an hour early for the match buildup and updates. Cheers for now.
11:54 PM IST New Zealand captain - Mitchell Santner happily grins about winning the toss, noting that the pitch plays at its absolute best while the ball is brand new. He explains that as the ball gets older, it spins significantly more, meaning spinners simply need to let the surface do the work for them. Santner highly praises Jayden Lennox, stating he has watched him perform consistently day in and day out back home, and commends the left-arm spinner's exceptional accuracy as the perfect blueprint for their spin blueprint.
11:53 PM IST West Indies captain - Shai Hope reflects on the defeat by acknowledging that their total of 138 runs is a true reflection of the challenging surface. He points out that adding another 60 to 70 runs would have made it a completely different game, noting that conditions in the Caribbean generally favor chasing teams. Admitting that he rarely wins the toss, Hope emphasizes that his side must improve at batting first, adapt quickly for the next match, and figure out a better way to set a competitive target.
11:51 PM IST POTM - Jayden Lennox wins the award for his five-wicket haul. Jayden bowled 8 overs for just 19 runs while picking up 5. Lennox expresses his delight, stating that contributing to a victory for New Zealand feels incredibly special, especially given how different a spinner's role is back home compared to these conditions. He explains that success on this surface requires pitching the ball into the wicket and squeezing out as many dot balls as possible to build pressure. Furthermore, Lennox notes that these conditions are not entirely foreign to him.
11:48 PM IST Presentation ...
11:47 PM IST Earlier - After Mitchell Bracewell broke the West Indies' flying 63-run opening stand, New Zealand's spinners completely dominated the innings to bundle WI out for a mere 138. Left-arm spinner Lennox led the bowling onslaught with a five-wicket haul. Kiwi captain Mitchell Santner rotated his spin attack brilliantly on a helpful surface, keeping the stumps in play to orchestrate a dramatic batting collapse. Amir Jangoo provided the only resistance with a composed knock, but a total lack of application from the rest of the West Indies batters resulted in a low total despite a solid start from the openers.
11:47 PM IST Collective batting effort by NZ - Despite the middle-order collapse, New Zealand's depth saved the day as almost every batter chipped in with vital cameos to see the total through. The West Indies bowling unit was absolutely brilliant in defense, led by Khary Pierre who bagged two crucial wickets, while the other bowlers picked up one apiece. Vitel Lawes also bowled with great heart and control, however, he remained incredibly unlucky to go wicketless while leaking a few extra runs toward the back end.
11:46 PM IST Spinners sound the alarm after promising Kiwi start - Much like the West Indies innings, New Zealand started their batting innings on a positive note. While they did not quite match the explosive nature of the Windies' opening stand, the top order laid a solid foundation before the pitch began to play tricks. As the ball softened a tad, the West Indies spinners extracted immense turn and bounce from the spin-friendly conditions. The home side struck in tandems and put the brakes on the scoring rate, causing a middle-order wobble.
11:44 PM IST Resilient New Zealand battles back - Congratulations to New Zealand on pulling off a hard-fought victory in this low-scoring affair and leveling the 5-match ODI series at one game apiece! Defending a meager total of 138 was always going to require something special from the West Indies, and they made the visitors sweat for every single run. It was never an easy chase on a challenging surface, but the Kiwis showed tremendous grit to overcome the pressure and cross the finish line with five wickets in hand.

A huge appeal for LBW but the umpire keeps it down. Shai Hope, after a word with the bowler, asks for DRS. This was bowled fuller, around off, Tom Latham goes for the back of th bat, reverse sweep but misses and gets hit on his front pad. LBW appeal by the West Indies side but it is not given. Hope opts for DRS. Ball Tracking shows that the ball hits Latham in line with the off stump but turns a long way down and would have missed the leg pole. Excellent decision from the umpire not to give this out. WI loses a review.
