West Indies Vs New Zealand Live Cricket Score - Live Score, Match 9 - Full Scorecard

T Boult to C Gayle, OUT! End of the entertainment! Gayle departs! His knock though has got West Indies off to a flier. This is a fuller delivery on off, Gayle looks to clear mid off but since the ball is too full, he fails to get under it. Hits it straight to Williamson there who takes an easy catch. Much-needed wicket for New Zealand as this partnership was going great guns. The Kiwis will now try and pull things back.

J Neesham to E Lewis, OUT! The dangerous partnership is broken by James Neesham. Outstanding catch from Mitchell Santner. Neesham bowls short on middle, Lewis pulls it in front of square leg but does not get the distance. Santner at deep square leg puts in a dive and takes a brilliant catch. Crucial wicket for New Zealand because Lewis was looking well set for a big one.

T Boult to S Hope, OUT! Shai Hope departs immediately after a brilliant hundred. What an innings this has been. However, it is timely for New Zealand as he would have looked to cut loose now. Boult bowls it on a length on off and it is the knuckle ball. Hope looks to loft it over mid off but does not pick it and hence, does not get the timing on it. It goes towards Williamson who takes a good catch to his right.

L Ferguson to D Bravo, OUT! RUN OUT! Bravo is not a happy man but it was solely his fault there. There was never a run in that one. Brilliant work by Nicholls too. Darren taps this length ball towards cover and he sets off for a run. Hope refuses but then Bravo is already halfway down. He turns but stops, he can now just hope that Nicholls misses his shy but that is not the case. The latter takes his time and hits bull's eye. New Zealand need to keep taking wickets if they are to stem this run flow.

M Santner to S Hetmyer, OUT! Again a partnership is broken here by New Zealand. Shimron Hetmyer throws it away. He had already hit a six in this over and this shot was never needed. Flighted delivery on middle, Hetmyer comes down the track and lofts it over mid-wicket but does not get the timing on it. It goes to Trent Boult who takes a comfortable catch.

M Henry to J Holder, OUT! Straight to the man! Matt Henry breaks the partnership which was taking the game away from them. They haven't got Russell but a wicket is a wicket. Also, the idea from Holder was right but could not quite execute it. A wide full ball from Henry. Holder looks to guide it past short third man but ends up hitting it straight to him. Can they keep them under 400?

L Ferguson to J Holder, OUT! RUN OUT! Terrible mix up between Holder and Pooran. Holder flicks this full ball on the pads to mid-wicket and calls to his partner. They complete a run and Holder comes back for a second while Pooran stands his ground towards the striker's end. Holder, while coming back for a second is ball watching and he doesn't realize that Pooran has not started from his end. Eventually when Pooran starts, he is late to reach the bowler's end and ultimately loses his wicket as Trent Boult throws it to the bowler who whips the bails off. Two wickets in quick succession, the Kiwis need to keep picking wickets if they are to make a comeback in the game.

T Boult to A Russell, OUT! KABOOM! Boult bowls a corker of a yorker to get rid of Andre Russell. Needed something special to get rid of this man and Boult delivers. He is delighted. It is on the leg pole. Russell fails to jam it out and the ball hits the leg pole. A brutal knock from Russell comes to an end. New Zealand still have a chance to stop them under 400.

M Henry to C Brathwaite, OUT! Brathwaite departs now! Something to rejoice for Henry. He continues bowling full and wide outside off. Brathwaite reaches out for it but the ball goes off the toe end towards covers where Williamson takes it easily. Two dots and a wicket in this over. Excellent from Henry.

T Boult to K Roach, OUT! That is the end of the West Indies innings. Boult bowls it on a length on middle, Roach looks to go big but gets a top edge. It goes towards mid-wicket where Boult himself goes for the catch and takes it just inches above the ground. WEST INDIES FINISH WITH 421.

S Cottrell to M Guptill, OUT! First breakthrough for West Indies. Cottrell bowls a good short ball on middle, Guptill looks to pull but gets a top edge. It goes towards mid-wicket where Darren Bravo takes a good catch running backwards. Not the start New Zealand would have wanted.

K Roach to H Nicholls, OUT! New Zealand lose their second wicket and are in deep trouble now. Roach bowls a good short ball, Nicholls looks to pull but gets a top edge. Henry wanted to drag it. It goes towards Holder who runs from mid on and takes a comfortable catch. West Indies are right in the game now.

A Nurse to Tom Blundell, OUT! RUN OUT! The last thing New Zealand would have wanted at the moment, that too, it is their skipper who is taking the long walk back. The partnership had started to get going and a mix-up spoils it. First, Blundell plays a lovely dab down towards third man. Allen from short third man hares after it. The batsmen take two. Blundell is charging for the first and second run but Williamson is seen jogging. Allen in the meantime, pushes the ball back in play before it crosses the ropes. Williamson then senses an opportunity for the third and goes for it. Blundell too goes for it but Kane then realizes he is in trouble and stops, so does Tom but then Williamson continues. Till then, the ball gets to the keeper who collects it and whips the bails off. KW is well short. There always going to be a run out when the batsmen hesitated in the middle but it was Williamson who sacrificed his wicket. A fine innings by Kane comes to an end. Hats off to Williamson though! He could have easily turned around and gone back to his end which means Blundell would have been the one to have got out. But he knew it was his mistake and he did not want TB to pay the price. Speaks volumes about the captaincy quotient and teammate quotient in that man.

O Thomas to R Taylor, OUT! Thomas bowls a Jaffa! He bowls a short of a good length delivery outside off. Taylor looks to defend but the ball takes off after pitching. Nothing Taylor could do after that, the ball hits the glove and lobs to backward point for the fielder to pouch an easy catch.

C Brathwaite to Tom Blundell, OUT! Tom Blundell plays the same shot again but this time he hits it to the keeper. Brathwaite bowls it on a length and outside off, it is the slower one so Blundell has to generate all the power. He fails to do so and Shai Hope takes an easy catch. Nevertheless, end of a brilliant innings from him. He has probably booked his spot in the XI with this innings for the first game of the World Cup.

A Nurse to J Neesham, OUT! STUMPED! New Zealand lose their fifth wicket. Neesham skips down the track, on seeing this Nurse drags his length back. Neesham could not adjust to the change and goes on with his shot. The ball beats him through to the keeper, who flicks the bails off. A stand which was starting New Zealand believe, has been broken.

C Brathwaite to de Grandhomme, OUT! Carlos bowls a length ball outside off, Colin looks to smash it through the off side, but ends up slicing it towards deep point. Nurse makes a lot of ground to his left and takes a very nice catch.

C Brathwaite to M Santner, OUT! New Zealand loose their seventh wicket. Santner pulls this slower short delivery but gets hit high on the bat and it lobs to backward square leg where Nurse takes it. West Indies are making a statement to other teams what they can bring to this World Cup.

F Allen to Ish Sodhi, OUT! STUMPED! Sodhi's luck runs out and that is the end of the New Zealand innings. Ish comes down the track and Allen fires it outside off. The batter looks to put bat on ball but misses. Hope does the rest. WEST INDIES WON BY 91 RUNS!

F Allen to M Henry, OUT! New Zealand are falling like nine pins here. Flighted delivery on leg, Henry comes down the track and looks to go big but misses it. Matt Henry gets stumped as Shai Hope quickly takes the bails off.
