Jayden Lennox's 4-Wicket Haul Seals It for New Zealand
New Zealand have won by 6 wickets. West Indies batted first and posted 140/10 in 37.1 overs. New Zealand chased down 141 in just 39.3 overs.
West Indies struggled through their innings, losing wickets at regular intervals. Keacy Carty top-scored with 48 off 77 balls (SR 62), but lacked support from the other end. The powerplay yielded 26 runs — early wickets put them under pressure from the start.

With the ball, Jayden Lennox delivered figures of 4/52 in 10 overs (Econ 5.2). A match-defining spell that tore through the batting order.
NZ lead the series 2-1. The pressure is firmly on the chasing side now.
The Turning Point
The result was shaped by a series of small moments rather than one dramatic turning point. The winning side was simply more clinical in their execution across both innings.
