West Indies 149 for 9 (Rutherford 68*, Boult 3-16, Southee 2-21) beat New Zealand (Phillips 40, Joseph 4-19, Motie 3-25) by 13 runs
A sensational rescue effort from Sherfane Rutherford set up a third win on the trot for West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2024 while putting New Zealand on the verge of elimination at the Brian Lara stadium in Tarouba. With the win, the co-hosts have also secured a spot in the Super Eight.
New Zealand’s fast bowlers dictated proceedings in the powerplay to have West Indies four down in the first innings. Rutherford found little support as they slid to 112 for 9 after 18 overs, but he plundered 37 runs off the last two overs to take West Indies to 149 before the bowlers stepped up during their defense.
Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie and Akeal Hosein were the stars with the ball, as New Zealand slumped to two defeats in as many games.
