Scorer: Sudeep Poojar | Commentator: Shashwat Kumar

4:36pm A slightly anti-climactic end to a series that ebbed and flowed throughout, but NZ will be happy with how they responded after going down earlier in the series. A few things to ponder for WI, although through these games (barring today), they have shown they can compete, even away from home. We hope you enjoyed our coverage, and there is plenty of cricket lined up from elsewhere on the planet - all of which can be accessed on ESPNcricinfo. Until next time, from Sudeep and myself (Shashwat), it is goodbye!

Jacob Duffy, the Player of the Match is also the Player of the Series: Early season, there is going to be a bit in it for us. We did well to restrict a good WI team to 140. (Message before this game) Just be clinical, last time out in NZ before we head out as a T20I squad. We are here to do a job, want to win games for our country and that is what we focus on. (On the series) T20, a huge asset is swing up top and powerplay wickets (are key). Swing the ball up top and try to make things happen is my role. That (West Indies) is a scary line-up, they go all the way. Some awesome games of cricket (this series), tight games, hopefully the crowds enjoyed that.

Mitchell Santner, New Zealand captain: We knew there might be a little bit in the wicket. Taking wickets in the powerplay is always important (in this format). We were able to chip away, and then the guys with the bat were very professional. We have been challenged by a good team, and we have come through some tough moments. Powerplay wickets are massive with the ball and on the flip side with the bat (not losing too many). The way we have bowled has been outstanding, but the scores are never 220-230 on these grounds, so 170-180 is a good score.

Shai Hope, West Indies captain: (On their batting approach) Some of the things we have spoken about is putting good bowling under pressure. That (powerplay batting) is maybe one of our Achilles heel. Did not work out for us (today), something we need to work on moving forward. Good sign that the lower order is putting their hands up. One of those places where you need to get a nice preparation phase. No excuse, but it would certainly help in conditions like this, which we don't face back home. Something we need to focus on, more mentally than physically or skill-wise, and to be ready when the first ball is bowled. Not sure we were ready today, but got to commend the boys (for the way they played the series). (On the upcoming ODI series) We are going to take learnings from this series. Conditions will be similar, just got to ensure we are learning quickly, especially from a batting perspective and make sure we are getting good starts. As long as we do that, the bowlers have been doing well, and take some confidence into the series, we should be okay.

4:19pm Commanding and clinical. Two words that describe this run-chase to the tee. Robinson did the early running, taking full toll of the field restrictions. Conway was a little scratchier at the start but grew into his innings, remaining unbeaten at the end and hitting the winning runs. Chapman and Ravindra also played their parts, and NZ will be pleased with how routine they made this run-chase look.

A tough and disappointing day at the office for the visitors. They did not have a lot of runs to play with, but they were not as accurate as the Kiwi pacers were either. Boundaries were conceded quite frequently, and that meant they could never really put on the requisite squeeze to push the hosts into nervous territory.

Shepherd to Conway, 1 run, Conway seals the deal, and NZ win this five-match T20I series! Full on leg stump. Conway resists the temptation to hunt for a fifty and eases it to long on to finish off this run-chase. NZ, having gone down 1-0 earlier in the series, have fought back and in the end, they have won this series at a canter!

Shepherd to Chapman, 1 run, dug into the track outside off. Chapman winds up and clinks it off the toe-end towards long on. Scores level!

Shepherd to Conway, 1 run, back of a length outside off. Conway waits for the slower one and cuts it towards deep backward point

Shepherd to Conway, FOUR, shot! Half-volley on the pads, and NZ are in a hurry now. Conway transfers his weight forward and regally clips it between long on and deep mid wicket!

Vignesh: "Does Chapman's 100 games include stats from when he played for Hong Kong? Or is it 100 games for NZ" -- It includes the games he played for Hong Kong. This is his 81st T20I for NZ.

END OF OVER:
