Right then, that will be it from us for this contest. We hope you enjoyed the coverage. The action continues at the T20 World Cup as Bangladesh takes on the Netherlands on June 13th at the Arnos Vale Ground in St Vincent. That game will start at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). But you can join early for all the build-up. Until then, take care and cheers!
The West Indies skipper, Rovman Powell says that he is very happy with the performance. Feels that individual brilliance is crucial on such surfaces. Adds that Sherfane Rutherford's knock gave them confidence and belief. States that they watched what the New Zealand bowlers did well and tried to replicate the hard lengths. Further says that the talk was to hit the hard length. Credits the bowlers for the way they bowled with the wet ball. Ends by saying that it was unfortunate that some of their batters could not get going, but he is glad to get the win.
Kane Williamson, the New Zealand skipper, says that it was a tricky surface and the bowlers did a good job. Lauds Sherfane Rutherford for his knock. Adds that that the batting depth was beneficial for West Indies and that they had some tough overs at the backend. Mentions that the wicket kept going up and down but the team did a fine job to adapt. Reckons that they tried to make the best of the preparation. Ends by sharing that they need to bounce back quickly in the last two games and take the learnings as they have to pick themselves and get back.
Sherfane Rutherford is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his rescue act with the bat. He starts by thanking the Almighty. Shares that even though he did not play for his Indian T20 League franchise, he was preparing there for this tournament. He says that it was about keeping things simple and backing his skills. Adds that he kept telling himself to take it deep. States he knew he could make it up in the end once he started to get into rhythm. Further says that he knew that New Zealand were 2 overs short and that if he stayed there, he could score maximum runs off those 2 overs. Hopes that the team can keep the momentum.
Time for the Presentation...
Earlier in the day, West Indies were sent into bat first and were reeling at 76 for 7 in the 13th over. Sherfane Rutherford scripted a comeback for the ages as he made handy partnerships with Russell, Hosein, and Shepherd to take his side out of troubled waters. Rutherford smashed an unbeaten 68 off just 39 and single-handedly took his side to a competitive score of 149. Trent Boult was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers with three wickets while Southee and Ferguson snapped a couple. New Zealand started well with the ball but gave away plenty of runs at the backend and were never in the game with the bat. New Zealand have suffered back-to-back losses and will need a miracle to progress into the Super 8s. If Afghanistan win their next game against PNG, that will be the end of Super 8 stage qualification hopes for the Kiwis.
Defending the score, West Indian bowlers applied the pressure from the word go and never allowed the Black Caps to get easy runs. Akeal Hosein picked up the early wicket of Devon Conway after which Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie put a stranglehold on the Kiwi batting through the middle stages of the game. Alzarri Joseph with four and Gudakesh Motie with three were the stand-out bowlers for the Men in Maroon as they make it three out of three in the group stage with a game to go.
WEST INDIES ARE THROUGH TO THE SUPER 8 STAGE OF THE T20 WORLD CUP! An outstanding comeback from the West Indies sees them defeat New Zealand by 13 runs. Chasing 150 for the win, New Zealand lost Devon Conway early but Finn Allen stuck a few lusty blows and kept up with the required rate. The home side came back strong and had New Zealand reeling at 63 for 5 in the 11th over. Glenn Phillips with 40 off 33 tried hard but lacked the support from other batters. Mitchell Santner stuck three maximums in the final over but it was all too late for the Black Caps as they finished on 136 for 9.

Time for Drinks! New Zealand are struggling in the chase of 150. West Indies are well-ahead at this moment and will hope to keep chipping away with the wickets. New Zealand will need Phillips or Mitchell to step up and take the game deep for New Zealand to have a chance. A loss for the Kiwis will pretty much mean curtains to their T20 World Cup hopes. An exciting passage of play is upon us. Don't go anyhwere!

Gudakesh Motie To Kane Williamson OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Gudakesh Motie comes into the attack and gets the big fish! A massive blow to New Zealand. Comes from around the wicket for the right-hander and bowls it just short, just outside off, Kane Williamson makes room for himself as he looks to cut this one away. A bit of extra bounce and the ball spins away too. Gets an outside edge through to the keeper, Nicholas Pooran who has his gloves in the right position. The ball pops out of his gloves but Pooran takes it on the second attempt.

Alzarri Joseph To Finn Allen OUT!
OUT! TAKEN THIS TIME! Andre Russell isn't going to drop those and Sherfane Rutherford will be a relieved man. Alzarri Joseph makes use of the surface as he bends his back and digs it in short. Directs it right at the batter at chest height. Finn Allen gets on his toes but gets cramped up for room and the ball gets big on him as he goes for the pull. It goes only as far as deep backward square leg where Andre Russell takes an easy catch.

DROPPED! Sherfane Rutherford does all the hard work but puts it down! Alzarri Joseph steams in from over the wicket and angles it in, on off, on a length, holds up in the surface a bit, Finn Allen looks to work it across the line. Gets a leading edge that flies over the in-field. Sherfane Rutherford turns around and goes after it but overruns it and fails to hold on. How costly will this prove to be?
