The Caribbean bowlers maintained tight lines and lengths, making it challenging for the New Zealand team to find rhythm. Despite a few contributions from the Kiwi lineup, the West Indies bowlers kept their composure and restricted New Zealand to a below-par total in 20 overs.

One of the standout moments of the match was Deandra Dottin‘s remarkable dismissal of Brooke Halliday.
