For the Windies, the bowling in the second half was yet again a problem. They were really good in most of the first half but later on were taken to the cleaners. Hayden Walsh had a day to forget as he was pounded to all parts and Jason Holder and Obed McCoy were expensive too despite the left-arm seamer taking three wickets. Windies will be really disappointed with their performance with the ball.

A powerful batting performance from the Kiwis. The pair of Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell were brilliant in the second half of the innings and have taken New Zealand to a score that seems a daunting one. The start was not all that great though as they lost Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson quickly. Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips steadied the ship and then the stand between Mitchell and Philips has probably batted the Windies out of the game. From a position of trouble, the visitors are in pole position now.

Bye! This is banged in short and over middle, Bracewell looks to take it on as the ball flies close to his head but he misses. The batters do manage to scamper through for a bye and New Zealand finish on 215/5!w

FOUR! Nicely done and this is now the highest scoring by a visiting team in a T20I game in the Caribbean. Full and wide, Michael Bracewell just opens the face of the bat and strokes it through cover-point for a boundary.

Leg bye! Full and angling onto the pads, Bracewell misses the flick and gets hit on the pads. The ball rolls away as the batters get a leg bye.
