Jayden Lennox took the third-best figures by a New Zealand spinner in men’s ODIs as the visitors leveled the series with a five-wicket victory on a tricky surface offering turn. West Indies lost all ten wickets for 75 as they collapsed to 138, with Lennox taking 5 for 19, and while the chase wasn’t always straightforward, Tom Latham guided New Zealand to an ultimately comfortable win. Lennox, who had not taken more than two wickets in his previous six ODIs, went through West Indies’ middle order with the first four of his successes being bowled. His final return left him behind just Ish Sodhi’s 6 for 39 and Daniel Vettori’s 5 for 7 among New Zealand spinners. After Henry Nicholls and Will Young knocked off a decent chunk of the chase with a 35-run opening stand, New Zealand lost 3 for 17 including the run out of Mark Chapman for a second-ball duck when Vitel Lawes produced a sharp piece of fielding at cover. Young had been lbw to Alzarri Joseph and Nicholls top-edged a sweep.
