Alzarri Joseph to James Neesham
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Instant impact for Alzarri Joseph on his return to the attack. Steams in from over the wicket and keeps it away from the reach of the batter as it goes across him. Full in length and near the tramline on off, James Neesham clears his front leg and reaches out to go back over the bowler's head. Skies it off the toe-end of the bat towards short mid off where Brandon King settles under it and takes a safe catch.

Alzarri Joseph to Glenn Phillips
OUT! CAUGHT! Alzarri Joseph fights back and that should do it for the West Indies. Joseph responds by pulling his length back and bowls it over middle and leg, Glenn Phillips backs away and opens himself up to flat-bat this one down the ground. Gets rushed in his shot and fails to get any distance behind it. Rovman Powell runs in from long on to his right and takes a good catch.

Alzarri Joseph to Tim Southee
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Two in two for Alzarri Joseph and he is on a hat-trick now! Hurls it in on a length, just outside off, Tim Southee walks right across his stumps to access the leg side. He swings but gets a leading edge that goes straight up and behind the bowler. Joseph turns around and runs across to his right to take a well-judged catch. A golden duck for Tim Southee as the West Indies strengthen their grip on the game.

Romario Shepherd to Mitchell Santner
SIX! Launched down the ground! Romario Shepherd's confidence is taking a hit here. Into the wicket and angling in, over middle, Mitchell Santner stays still and lofts it straight over the bowler's head for the third maximum of the over. Had this six-hitting act come earlier, things would have panned out differently for New Zealand.

Romario Shepherd to Mitchell Santner
Fuller and slower, outside off, Mitchell Santner swings to go big on the off side but gets undone by the lack of pace as the ball sneaks under the bat.

Romario Shepherd to Mitchell Santner
Takes pace off again and outside off, Mitchell Santner reaches out and drags the pull to deep mid-wicket for just a single. West Indies win by 13 runs and have booked their place in the Super 8 stage. As for the New Zealand, they are all but out of the T20 World Cup.
