Only trent boult

The West Indies: Jacob Duffy's 4-35 helped New Zealand secure an eight-wicket victory in the fifth and final T20I against the West Indies as the hosts clinched the five-match series 3-1 here at the University Oval on Thursday.

The West Indies had their opportunities but lost a few close matches. They won the first game by seven runs, then New Zealand claimed the second by three runs and the third by nine runs; all three matches were decided in the final over, before the fourth game in Nelson was washed out.

Batting in conditions where the ball was moving around and the bounce was uneven, the West Indies were blown away by Duffy as they lost four wickets inside 10 balls during the powerplay. If not for Romario Shepherd and Roston Chase, it would've been a struggle even to post 100 runs on the scoreboard.
