West Indies struggled right from the start as Matt Henry and Tim Southee found swing, seam, and consistent accuracy. Early wickets kept the visitors under constant pressure, and every small partnership they attempted was quickly broken. The ball moved throughout the innings, and the batting lineup failed to adapt, falling to poor shot selection and relentless pressure.
New Zealand’s pacers maintained complete control through the middle overs as Kyle Jamieson and Lockie Ferguson joined the attack. Their extra bounce and sharp movement made scoring nearly impossible. West Indies once again collapsed, repeating a series-long pattern of failing to build momentum or rotate strike.
Chasing a modest total, New Zealand made the task look simple. Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra provided a steady opening stand before Kane Williamson guided the chase with his usual calmness and precision. The hosts reached the target comfortably, securing the match and completing a clean sweep.
This victory reinforces New Zealand’s dominance in their home conditions and highlights the strength of their pace unit. The West Indies, meanwhile, will have plenty to reflect on as their batting frailties were exposed throughout the series.
