MOUNT MAUNGANUI – Another poor bowling effort followed by feeble batting from World champions, West Indies condemned them to a 66-run defeat in the second Twenty20 International against New Zealand yesterday after Glenn Phillips blasted a record maiden hundred of 108.
Phillips smashed 10 fours and eight sixes in a 51-ball assault to record the fastest T20I hundred by a New Zealander and set up the Black caps for an imposing 238 for three from their allocation of 20 overs in the rain-affected match at the Bay Oval.
In reply, a few of the West Indies’ batsmen got starts but failed to carry on as the Caribbean side limped to 166 for nine from their 20 overs.
Windies captain Kieron Pollard hit the top score of 28, Keemo Paul indulged himself towards the end with 26 not out, Shimron Hetmyer laboured over 25, and opener Andre Fletcher and left-hander Kyle Mayers made 20 each, but promised much more. (CMC)
