Opener Kieran Powell set the Windies off to a flying start by racing to a 44 ball 73, and set the tone for their total of 363 for four, their highest ODI total but the Black Caps had no answer to an outfit on fire and imploded for 160 in 29.5 overs. Powell hit 12 fours and two sixes to dominate an opening stand of 95 with Johnson Charles in 12 overs.His knock included a six which was caught by a fan, who won $100,000 offered by a beer company for a one-handed catch.
Edwards and Bravo came together at 143 for three to consolidate and then accelerate after Powell fell leg-before to spinner Nathan McCullum and the run rate slowed after his departure. Edwards’ 108 ball knock included 12 fours and four sixes while Bravo’s entertaining innings featured 12 fours and three sixes. New Zealand never built momentum in their run chase as the five frontline batsmen were dismissed with the score on 65.
