NZ vs WI Live Cricket Score

1 OUT! TAKEN! Jacob Duffy provides an early breakthrough! Duffy slams the deck hard, keeping the line stump-to-stump. The ball lands and skids through the surface. Brandon King shapes across to flick it, but fails to keep it along the ground and chips it straight to short mid-wicket, where Zakary Foulkes takes it with a reverse cup over his head. Brandon King cannot quite believe it and departs on 3 (4) and West Indies are 4/1. 4/1

4.3 OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND CAUGHT! The change in length does the trick and Kyle Jamieson gets his first wicket. He hits the top of off and middle, on a good length. Generates a good bit of bounce due to the high release point and the ball slamming the deck hard. Alick Athanaze swivels and shapes to pull it over deep square leg, where the boundary is a bit long, and gets a top edge. The ball pops high up in the air and goes only as far as deep backward square leg. Mark Chapman moves a few yards forward and swallows a simple catch in the deep. Alick Athanaze departs on 16 (9) and West Indies are 28/2. 28/2

12.3 OUT! BOWLED! Fifty and out for Shai Hope as Zakary Foulkes strikes big. A leg cutter by the looks of it, on a good length, angling on the leg stump line. Shai Hope lines up for a pull shot, but the line is a bit too close to the body to execute that shot. Hence, he misses to connect and the ball stays low, and beats the inside edge to smash into the leg stump. Shai Hope departs for 53 (39) and West Indies are 97/4. 97/4

7 OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal! Neesham takes pace off and pushes it across the left-hander, on a good length. Ackeem Auguste is made to reach out and he looks to go over mid off but he is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. He still swings through and gets it right off the toe end of the bat. The ball gets skied towards cover, where Rachin Ravindra settles under it and does the rest. Auguste goes for 2 (8) and West Indies are now 43/3 in 7 overs. 43/3

18 OUT! TIMBER! End of a scratchy stay for Roston Chase! On the fuller side, angled into the right-hander. Chase shuffles across his stumps to scoop it over short fine leg but misses it completely. The ball goes past the bat to clatter into the leg stump. Roston admonishes himself and swings his bat in frustration as he trudges off after making 28 (27). West Indies are 146/5 and Jacob Duffy ends his highly testing spell with figures of 4-0-19-2. 146/5

18.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Zakary Foulkes gets the prized scalp! This will make a real difference in the final score. With an upright seam, Foulkes digs it short and Powell is denied the room to free his hands. Rovman swivels and swings across for the pull but the ball skids through and rises on its way to the batter. It grazes the outside edge and the keeper, Devon Conway leaps to take the catch over his head. Rovman Powell departs for a breezy 33 (23) and from 146/4, West Indies have slipped down to 148/6. 148/6

6.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A spectacular grab by Alick Athanaze in the deep and Romario Shepherd strikes big in his first delivery. Incoming delivery from off, on a good length. Tim Robinson stays leg side of the ball and tries to lift it over deep extra cover, but mistimes it off the toe end and the ball dips in front of Alick Athanaze. Alick runs in from the ropes and slides low to take a fine catch. Tim Robinson departs on 27 (21) and New Zealand are 48/2, needing 117 more runs to win. 48/2

3.1 OUT! CASTLED! Matthew Forde wins the battle against Devon Conway! This jags back in from around the wicket, on a good length, in and around the off stump. Conway just hangs his bat out away from his body with no real conviction. The ball cuts back in off the deck to beat him on the inside edge and hits the top of the off pole. Conway falls for 13 (12). New Zealand are 30/1. 30/1

11.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Akeal Hosein strikes with his third ball! Slider from over the wicket and it keeps going further away from the left-hander. Rachin Ravindra is made to reach out and he swings to slog down the ground with a horizontal bat. It goes only as far as long on, where Jason Holder runs in off the ropes and takes a safe catch around his thighs. Ravindra departs for 21 (19). New Zealand are 83/4, needing 82 runs from 51 balls. 83/4

9.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Chase gets a big wicket. He serves it on a fractionally fuller length, around the off stump line. Mark Chapman initially looks to pivot on the back foot to pull, but adjusts his shot. He tries to loft it inside out but does not get the bat properly under the ball. Hence, he ends up lifting it off the toe end of the bat. It sails only as far as long off where Matthew Forde settles under it and takes a regulation catch in the deep. Mark Chapman was itching to go big and departs on 7 (11) and New Zealand are 70/3. 70/3

12.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Jayden Seales was expensive in his first spell, but he has returned to pick up a massive wicket. Seales bends his back and digs it in short, over off. Daryl Mitchell clears the front leg and swings across the line ungainly. Fails to get on top of the bounce, and a top edge is induced. It goes straight up, and Matthew Forde does the rest at cover. Daryl Mitchell falls for 13 (9) and New Zealand are 87/5, needing 78 runs to win. 87/5

12.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two in the over for Jayden Seales. It is all falling apart for New Zealand. Angling away from over the wicket, on a nagging length, on off. Michael Bracewell premeditates as he walks across the stumps for the scoop, but the ball skids through and gets a bit big on him. It lobs off the glove and the keeper, Shai Hope, moves across to his right to complete the catch. Michael Bracewell departs on 1 (3) and from 70/2, New Zealand have slipped down to 88/6. 88/6

15.2 OUT! HIGH UP IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Is that the match for West Indies? Chase drops it flat and full and around middle and leg stump. James Neesham creates room and lofts it off the toe-end of the bat, but couldn't get the distance to sail it over the ropes and it goes straight down the throat of Matthew Forde at long off. James Neesham falls for a run-a-ball 11 and New Zealand are 100/7. 100/7

15.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Roston Chase gets his third wicket and West Indies can sense the win from here. Roston throws it flat and wide outside off, on a good length. Zakary Foulkes shapes to flat bat it over the long on region, but only manages a thick top edge. The ball swirls up in the air for an eternity. Roston Chase backtracks a bit and takes a simple catch around the mid on region.  Zakary Foulkes departs on 1 (2) and New Zealand are 102/8, still needing 63 runs to win. 102/8

16.4 OUT! TAKEN! Another one caught by the boundary-rider. Jayden Seales completes his three-for with that wicket. And now, just the final rites are being read in this game. Seales bowls it on a short of a good length, on middle. Kyle Jamieson clears the front leg and pulls it, but does not get the required elevation to clear long on. Finds Jason Holder in the deep who runs to his right and extends his long levers to grab the catch around his shoulder. Kyle Jamieson goes for 2 (3) and New Zealand are 107/9. 107/9
