PROVIDENCE, Guyana (AP) — Left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox took 5-19 as West Indies collapsed from 63-0 to be all out for 138 and New Zealand went on to win the second one-day cricket international Monday by five wickets. New Zealand faced a difficult chase on a sharply turning pitch and was 96-5 before Tom Latham made 37 in an unbroken partnership with Mark Bracewell to guide New Zealand to its target with 104 balls remaining. New Zealand's 400th win in one-day internationals leveled the five-match series at 1-1 after West Indies won the first match by seven wickets. Lennox claimed his first five-wicket total in his seventh one-day international after a belated international debut at 31 and his figures from eight overs were the third-best by a New Zealand spinner in ODIs.
