New Zealand beat Windies by five wickets in first ODI
WHANGAREI, New Zealand, Dec 20, 2017 (BSS/AFP) – New Zealand cruised to a
five-wicket win over the West Indies in the first one-day international in
Whangarei on Wednesday.
The tourists reached 248-9 after losing the toss and being sent in to bat,
a target the Black Caps overhauled with four overs remaining.
Opening batsmen George Worker and Colin Munro laid the foundation for the
hosts’ chase with a 108-run partnership, after paceman Doug Bracewell took
four for 55 with the ball.
