Duffy’s Four-Wicket Haul Restricts West indies

Jacob Duffy delivered a match-winning bowling performance, grabbing 4 wickets for just 35 runs in his 4 overs to stifle the West Indies batting lineup. After being put into bat, the visitors faltered early, losing wickets at regular intervals and failing to build significant partnerships. Though Roston Chase anchored the innings with a steady 38 off 32 balls and Romario Shepherd added a brisk 36 from 22 deliveries, the Caribbean side was bowled out for 140 in just 18.4 overs. James Neesham contributed with 2 wickets, while Duffy’s pace and precision proved decisive in dismantling the middle and lower order. Duffy was later named both Player of the Match and Player of the Series, having collected 10 wickets across the five games.

New Zealand’s Openers Seal the Chase

In pursuit of 141, New Zealand’s openers Tim Robinson and Devon Conway laid a strong foundation. The pair compiled a 69-run opening stand, with Robinson hammering 45 off 24 balls in a brisk display that set the tempo for the chase. Conway remained unbeaten on 47 from 42 deliveries, masterfully guiding the innings with support from Rachin Ravindra and Mark Chapman, both of whom chipped in with valuable cameos. The Black Caps comfortably overhauled the West Indies total in only 15.4 overs, finishing at 141 for 2 and maintaining their unbeaten T20 record at the venue. The emphatic win underscored New Zealand’s dominance in the format on home soil and their clinical approach in both bowling and batting departments.

With the T20I series wrapped up in style, New Zealand now turns its attention to the upcoming ODI leg, while the West Indies will be eager to regroup and bounce back in the next format.
