FOUR! Kyle Jamieson to Romario Shepherd. Full toss, to leg on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. After losing a couple of early wickets during the powerplay, the West Indies displayed impressive resilience to post a solid total. Skipper Shai Hope anchored the innings with a composed knock of 53, stabilising the team when it mattered most. Roston Chase provided crucial support in the middle overs, while Rovman Powell added momentum with a brisk contribution lower down the order, ensuring the hosts finished strongly. On the other hand, the New Zealand fast bowlers maintained tight control, with Jacob Duffy and Zak Foulkes taking two wickets each. Join us shortly for the run chase!
