Talking about the match, the young Black Caps managed to stun West Indies despite reeling at 153/8 chasing 239. However, there was a stunning twist to the tale as the ongoing tournament witnessed another surge from the tail-enders. Number 9 Joey Field and No. 10 Kristian Clarke joined han🐼ds to take New Zealand into the semi-finals with just two balls left in the game. Clarke, apart from scoring an unbeaten 46, had also bagged an impressive 4/25 with the ball.
