WI vs NZ Live Cricket Score

0.1 OUT! LBW! WHAT A START! First ball and West Indies have sent Guptill for an early shower. An absolute beauty of a yorker. It is an inswinging one on middle and leg, Guptill looks to get his bat down but is late and the swing beats him. The West Indies player put in a loud appeal but the umpire turns it down. They have a discussion and Holder takes it upstairs. For the naked eye it looks to be taking the inside edge but Ultra Edge shows there is none. Ball Tracker rolls in and shows that the ball was going onto hit the leg pole. Disastrous start for New Zealand but a dream one for West Indies. The Cottrell trademark salute is out in the very first ball of the game itself. 0/1

0.5 OUT! Bowled! Munro too departs for a duck. First ball and he gets a yorker. That is a nightmare ball to get first up. West Indies have a perfect start here. Both the openers are back in the pavilion. Another perfect yorker. This one in is on off and middle, Munro is late to get his bat down and the ball goes onto to disturb the timber. Cottrell brings out his trademark salute for the second time in the very first over. The West Indies players and fans are ecstatic. 7/2

46.3 OUT! That is a stunning catch by Shai Hope! Williamson's innings ends. A terrific knock again, when his side was in the doldrums. A short ball, around middle, Williamson looks to pull but gets a massive top edge. The ball swirls in the air but Hope runs behind it, keeping his eyes on the ball. He turns almost 360 degrees but manages to take the skier. West Indies needed that wicket. Williamson departs for a fantastic 148. He is slowly but surely climbing the ladder to become the greatest Kiwi batsman of all time, if not already. Take a bow, sir. 251/5

34.3 OUT! Caught! Wow. Unbelievable. It is the Universe Boss who has broken the 160-run stand. Jason Holder is all pumped up and he stands at mid off with his arms aloft, celebrating. It is not a great ball, full and around middle but the pace and the angle have done the trick. Taylor is down the track but is cramped for room as he looks to play the inside-out shot. The ball hits the toe end of the bat and lobs limply to mid off. Jason Holder over there leaps and takes the catch. Gaye celebrates too, but then hurts his shoulder. A wicket at last for the Windies. Can they press on the advantage? THIS IS THE FIRST WICKET FOR A WINDIES SPINNER IN THIS WORLD CUP. 167/3

41.5 OUT! Caught and bowled! Latham's misery ends. Faced 16 balls, scored just 12 runs and was totally struggling. This is not a pitch for new batsmen to come and straightaway play their strokes and the pressure was building on Tom to accelerate. A short ball, around middle, Latham looks to pull but is hurried into the shot. Gets a top edge which goes nowhere and is straight up in the air. Cottrell runs to his left, takes the catch and then gives the salute. West Indies can come back strongly, if they can limit the Kiwis under 270. 210/4

50 OUT! Caught! Cottrell again! You cannot keep him out of the game, can you? Full and outside off, Neesham looks to go over mid off but the ball hits the toe end of his bat. Lobs straight to Sheldon Cottrell over there who jumps and takes it. NEW ZEALAND END ON 291/8! 291/8

48.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Colin de Grandhomme was a long way short. Sensational aim from Cottrell. A length ball down the leg side, Neesham looks to flick but misses. The ball hits his pads and drops down to the leg side. Jimmy initially wants a run and hence, takes a couple of paces. Seeing that, de Grandhomme responds and charges in. But then, Neesham stops as he sees that Cottrell is charging in too and has got to the ball. Poor de Grandhomme has nowhere to go. He tries to return but in that time, Cottrell picks the ball up, takes aim and BOOM. Hits the stumps at the bowler's end. De Grandhomme is well short. The cameo has been cut short. 270/6

49.5 OUT! Caught. Gone this time. A length ball outside off, Santner looks to pull this but is done in by the lack of pace. Gets a top edge which goes straight up in the air. Sheldon Cottrell runs back from mid off and takes the skier. 291/7

24 OUT! Gayle holes out! West Indies, West Indies, West Indies. What is happening? From 142/2 they are now 152/5. De Grandhomme bowls it full on middle, Gayle looks to smoke it over long on. He gets a lot of height but not the distance. It goes straight to Trent Boult there. Unlike his pace bowling partner Henry, he holds onto the catch. From being on top of this game they now once again find themselves falling behind. This was the same issue against Australia and it is turning out to be the same against the other team from Down Under. 152/5

2.4 OUT! Chopped on! The anchor of this West Indies innings is out of here. Boult has given his skipper an early breakthrough. Full outside off. This one does not swing at all. Hope looks to hit it on the off side but his feet go nowhere close to the ball and he ends up getting a big inside edge onto the stumps. Big blow this for West Indies. Hope has been one of their consistent and in-form batsman in this tournament. 3/1

6.2 OUT! Caught! Brilliant, brilliant short ball this from Boult. Boult bowls it close to the body. The ball rises onto Pooran. He looks to pull but is late in his shot. He ends up top edging it. The ball goes high in the air but does not go too far. Latham comes running in front and takes a simple catch, just like a high catch practice. Second wicket for Boult. Just like Cottrell in the first innings, he is doing a very similar job here. Maybe even better. 20/2

22.1 OUT! Bowled! Slower one has done the trick here. It is on a length on middle and leg, Hetmyer goes for a big heave on the leg side. He gets outfoxed by the slowness of the delivery and misses. The ball goes to hit the top of middle and off. Once again Hetmyer gets a start and fails to convert it. He will be disappointed. 142/3

22.2 OUT! Caught! Two in two now and Ferguson is on a hat-trick. Ferguson bowls it full and fast outside off, Holder looks to drive but gets a feather on it behind to the keeper. Latham dives in front and takes a very good low catch. Is this the turning point in this game? West Indies were cruising but now are in trouble. 142/4

49 SIX? NO! OUT! YES! Caught! Oh dear me! I don't know what to tell you! Boult has stunned the crowd here. Neesham bowls a slower bouncer outside off, Brathwaite looks to pull. It looks like, this is the end. It looks like West Indies have sealed the deal but NO! TRENT BOULT! He holds his nerve, keeps his calm and considering the situation takes a blinder at long on. He takes a very good catch just, just before the ropes. Brathwaite cannot believe it. He is down in disbelief. The Kiwi players are riding with joy. NEW ZEALAND WIN BY 5 RUNS! 286/10

26.2 OUT! Gloved down the leg side! Boult strikes now. The wickets are falling like ninepins. What a collapse. 4/21 in 26 balls. A short ball, down the leg side, Nurse looks to pull but is cramped for room. He gets a glove onto the ball and Tom Latham dives to his left to complete the formalities. 163/6

26.5 OUT! Caught! Straight to the man. Lewis comes and goes. Another double-wicket over. A short ball, outside off, Evin swivels and pulls it. But straight to deep mid-wicket where Jimmy Neesham takes it easily. Lewis trudges back and New Zealand are on their way to a massive win. 164/7

38.1 OUT! Caught! Finally something to relish for Henry. He has not had a good day in the field but he gets into the wicket column. Length delivery outside off, Roach looks to cut but gets an outside edge. Latham behind takes a regulation catch and Kemar's fighting innings comes to an end. The 47-run stand comes to an end. 211/8

45 OUT! Bowled! Full and straight on off, Cottrell looks to hit it but the ball goes between his bat and pad onto the off pole. The end looks near for West Indies. He hung in there well with Brathwaite. Can't criticize him but credit him for the fight he has shown. 245/9
