New Zealand: 66/2 (8/20 above) Phillips 7, Conway 6
Kieron Pollard replaces Oshane Thomas. Conway and Phillips are starting to find their feet in the middle by playing some singles and doubles. Phillips slaps a four on the midwicket. I didn’t get it all, but I hit it hard enough to make the rope bounce.
New Zealand: 53/2 (6.2 / 20 over) Phillips 0, Conway 0
Another wicket for the Windies! Guptill goes, caught behind Fabian Allen’s bowling alley. The off course player throws the ball in the middle and gets a little spin on the green deck. Guptill looks to look behind the square, but gets the slightest lead and Pooran goes up on appeal. The referee does not like it, but the decision is reviewed and annulled. Guptill left for 34. Two speed windows and now the West Indies are in the driver’s seat.
New Zealand: 49/1 (5.4 / 20 more) Guptill 30, Conway 0
SHUTTER! A strange dismissal. Seifert jumps a few steps to his left and prepares a quick shot over the shoulder to the thin leg. He ruins it completely and hits the ball directly on his stumps. Oshane Thomas gets the first wicket of the game. A few balls earlier, Guptill hit six more with a clever ramp shot on the third man.
New Zealand: 41/0 (5/20 on) Guptill 23, Seifert 17
Keemo Paul replaces Cottrell. It goes for 15 runs when Guptill starts playing a few shots. A huge six more and a four for Guptill. A four for Seifert too.
New Zealand: 26/0 (4/20 above) Guptill 13, Seifert 12
Mayers has already been removed from the attack for now. However, Oshane Thomas picks up where he left off with Seifert clearing the inner ring twice with two fours. Thomas is going for nine races.
New Zealand: 17/0 (3/20 above) Guptill 13, Seifert 3
Guptill survives an LBW appeal from Cottrell, they go to review the decision, but it is discovered that he is pitching out. Cottrell is only going for two at that end, applying the pressure early on from this end.
New Zealand: 15/0 (2/20 of) Guptill 12, Seifert 2
Kieron Pollard drops a trap on deck. I didn’t even touch it, but an easy early out went to ask the Windies. They can pay for that later. However, two fours by Guptill and Kyle Mayers are going for 11 on their first over.
New Zealand: 4/0 (1/20 of) Guptill 4, Seifert 0
A good opening for the West Indies just four runs down. Guptill goes aerieal early, hitting the spot for a limit. Other than that, relatively tight bowling from Sheldon Cottrell.
2:00 pm: After a long delay due to a wet garden, the covers have finally been removed and the launch has taken place. The West Indies win the toss and choose to bowl first in fairly cloudy and temperate conditions. We could be seeing some delays today with rain on the cards throughout the day. Starting to drizzle again, but hopefully we can start soon.
Off to a great start last week with a five-wicket win over the West Indies, the Black Caps will look to wrap up the series today in what is the second game of their three-game T20 series.
One to watch today will be Devon Conway, who impressed in his first international appearance on Friday with a solid 41-run inning.
The Express passenger Lockie Ferguson is another to watch, as the 29-year-old frequently reaches speeds in excess of 150 km / h and earns five in the first T20.
