Fourth ODI at Auckland
WI v NZ, 4th ODI, Auckland: Rain hits series again (NZ 1:1)
Jan 10, 2009
Napier, weather permitting, will provide the winner of the rain-plagued New Zealand-West Indies One-Day International series, after the fourth game was declared a non-result in Auckland on Saturday.
The series stands at 1-1 after the first game, in Queenstown, was also abandoned.
The West Indies started their innings needing 276 to beat New Zealand which was superbly spear-headed by debut batsman Martin Guptill who achieved the second highest score in all ODIs for a debut player when finishing 122 not out. Only West Indian Desmond Haynes, who scored 148, had scored more.
As the second break, which looked more threatening, the tourists were 64 without loss with Gayle 46 not out off 37 balls while Sewnarine Chattergoon was 17 not out off 26 balls.
WI v NZ, 4th ODI, Auckland: New Zealand 275-4 v West Indies 64-0: No Result
