New Zealand spinner Jayden Lennox took five wickets to lead the Black Caps to a victory over the West Indies in the second ODI. The win levels the five-match series as the teams prepare for the third match in Guyana.
Why it matters
The performance highlights a significant individual achievement in international cricket and shifts the momentum of a competitive series.
Spinner Jayden Lennox tore through the West Indies, taking 5/19, as the Black Caps won a low-scoring second ODI by five wickets in Guyana.
The five-match series is level after the hosts were dismissed for just 138 in the 36th over, and New Zealand responded with 141 for 5 in the 33rd - led by Tom Latham's 37 not out.
Daryl Mitchell and Will Young both added 28 runs apiece.
Lennox, who has only played seven matches for New Zealand, claimed the third-best ODI figures ever by a Black Caps spinner.
The Black Caps won the toss and asked the West Indies to bat and the New Zealand spinners got on top of the home side early.
