Third ODI at Wellington
WI v NZ, 3rd ODI, Wellington: New Zealand level ODI series (NZ 1:1)
Jan 07, 2009
Skipper Daniel Vettori took four cheap scalps as New Zealand crushed the West Indies by seven wickets to level the one-day series 1-1 on Wednesday.
Vettori finished with 4-20 from 10 overs in the third of the five-match series after the hosts skittled the West Indies for 128 in 41.4 overs at Westpac Stadium.
New Zealand initially stuttered in the run-chase, losing the wickets of Brendon McCullum, Jesse Ryder and Jamie How in the space of six runs to be 40 for three after 7.2 overs.
But Ross Taylor made an unbeaten 51 off 50 balls including five fours and three sixes, supported by Daniel Flynn's 23 not out in an 89-run partnership that propelled New Zealand to 129 in just 20.3 overs.
WI v NZ, 3rd ODI, Wellington: New Zealand 129-3 (20.3 overs) beat West Indies 128 (41.4 overs) by 7 wickets
