New Zealand (NZ) scored an exciting 5-run win over former World champion West Indies (WI). It was heart-break for C. Brathwaite and West Indies as it was a good chance for the West Indies to pull out a win. In the last ball of the 48th over bowled by Neesham, Trent Boult took a breathtaking catch meters inside the long-on boundary and to dismiss C. Brathwaite (101, 82b, 9x4, 5x6) and with that West Indies lost by five-runs.
West Indies from being 20 for two fought back to recover to 142 for two, but New Zealand struck back once again and reduced WI to 164 for seven, but West Indies found a savior in C. Brathwaite who excelled with the willow by striking the ball with telling effect with some massive hitting.
