West Indies were clinical with the ball and were shepherded with skill by Shamarh Brooks. New Zealand will have a few more things to polish in a couple of days, when these two teams take on each other again. You can follow the live action here on ESPNcricinfo. Himanshu Agrawal and I will be here. On behalf of him and our scorer, Chandan, it's goodbye for now.
Nicholas Pooran, West Indies Captain: (On choosing 3 spinners) We looked at the surface and felt it was dry. It was similar to that against Australia last year. We thought it was good to give three spinners opportunities and it worked out. The debutants handled pressure really well. We have been looking for legspinners, being economical and contributing was important. We knew batting was tricky with Boult and Southee swinging the ball. But our thinking going in was that we were one partnership away from getting a win. We put in a lot of hard work and are pleased with winning the ten points today.
Kane Williamson, New Zealand Captain: There was a big effort with the bat from us, the conditions were challenging. Credit to West Indies for playing well, we need to take learnings and move on. (On the scorer) You want more, but I thought our score was competitive. They didn't give much with the ball. Rolling up the sleeves and adapting to conditions is what we need to do. During the chase, we put in the effort. It did not come off, but it's good that the bowlers got a few overs under their belt.
Shamarh Brooks, POTM: We realised it was early beginning. Credit to our bowlers for restricting them. Getting a start was ideal on this tough wicket. Things got easier with time. This win is significant, we're improving in batting since India. We want to go from strength to strength.
Join Ekanth for the presentations, which are about to begin soon.
9.59pm Who remembers the last time West Indies beat New Zealand in an ODI? That was back in Hamilton in January 2014. Today in Bridgetown, the hosts dominated with ball and bat to set up this five-wicket win after limiting the visitors to 190. Hosein and Joseph got three wickets each, before Brooks' 79 ensured there was no drama and hiccups on his side's way to a win.
Will this ever get over? Holder on 9 off 24.
Two more... Here comes Santner.
