New Zealand showed their class to visitors by winning the first game comfortably.
By batting first, Windies started well with the bat, but then Lockie Ferguson rattled through the top order of the Windies. Hetymer, Pooran, Powell all were back to the pavilion cheaply. Still, then Pollard and Allen steadied the ship by playing crucial knocks of 75 and 30 respectively and helped West Indies to reach the total of 180 in 16 overs(match reduced to 16 overs due to rain).
Lockie Ferguson was the pick from the bowlers by ending his spell with the figures of 5/21 in 4 overs.
By chasing 180, the Windies got the crucial wicket of Guptill in the 1st Over. Devon Conway played a solid knock of 41 on his debut which helped New Zealand to get a solid start. The visitors dismissed Ross Taylor for a duck and were fully back in the game, but Neesham and Santner had other plans and smashed the Windies bowlers out the park and chased the total comfortably by scoring 48 and 31 respectively.
New Zealand would like to win the 2nd T20I and seal the series. At the same time, Windies will look to bounce back by winning the 2nd T20 and would hope that their batting lineup does not disappoint them again.
