Having won the first game by seven runs at the Eden Park in Auckland, West Indies are aiming to make it two wins in two as they take on New Zealand in the second T20I at the same venue on Thursday. Both teams had little time to recover with the first game ending a night before.
In the first game, West Indies rode on Shai Hope's 53, and knocks from Roston Chase (28) and Rovman Powell (33) to post 164/6 in 20 overs. In reply, New Zealand were never been able to stand in front of Jayden Seales and Chase, with both taking three wickets each.
Captain Mitchell Santner was the only New Zealand batter to fight with a 55-run knock. In fact, it was the first time West Indies won an outright game in New Zealand. West Indies had won against New Zealand on the latter's soil before but in a Super 4 finish in 2008. Before that New Zealand had defeated West Indies in a Bowl Out in the first-ever tied T20I in 2006.
In the shortest format, New Zealand and West Indies faced in 21 T20Is. The Kiwis enjoy a a 10-6 head-to-head record while three matches ended in no result. Two matches produced no results.
