Series: New Zealand in West Indies Sep/Oct 2022
Venue: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium
Format: ODI
Toss: New Zealand
Result: New Zealand by 5 runs DL method
Match reduced to 35 overs per team due to a delay caused by rain. A farcical end to the match saw the final two overs not bowled and New Zealand declared winners by 5 runs according to the Duckworth Lewis Method.
Had the game gone to a natural conclusion one could easily assume New Zealand would have won by 5 wickets, but when the match stopped so suddenly after 33 overs, due to the allotted time having expired, it was suggested that West Indies had won by 1 run, which would have been completely against the run of play.
Some level of sanity prevailed and the game was awarded to New Zealand.
Scores:
West Indies 168/7 (Chinelle Henry 44, Kyshona Knight 36, Fran Jonas 2-22, Jess Kerr 2-29) 35 overs
New Zealand 159/5 (Suzie Bates 51, Amelia Kerr 47*, Hayley Matthews 3-28) 33 overs
