3rd ODI: West Indies bowled out for 161 against NZ
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The West Indies' bold decision to bat first after winning the toss backfired Saturday when the Caribbean side was bowled out by New Zealand for 161 in the third one-day international.
First through Matt Henry with the new ball, then with effective use of the short ball and later with Mitch Santner's spin, New Zealand dismissed the tourists in 36.2 overs.
West Indies captain Shai Hope was happy to bat first on what looked to be a docile pitch at Seddon Park, dry and sparsely grassed. But there was a little swing early and, when that abated, New Zealand's persistence with a shorter length paid off as batters made a start but often fell to soft dismissals.
