Well Romario Shepherd and Shamar Springer put together an 80 run partnership but it was not enough as the West Indies lost the third T20 against New Zealand by seven runs. The Kiwis posted 177 for nine batting first with two wickets each from Matthew Forde and Jason Holder. In reply, Jacob Duffy pulled off a blinding catch to remove Springer to put the hosts 2-1 up in the five match series.

00:01Another close one for the books. New Zealand took first strike against the Westinies in the third T20.
00:06Devon Conway and Tim Robinson went their merry way trying to work out Akeel Hossein and Matthew Ford.

00:20Ratchin Ravindra kept the scoreboard taking over alongside Conway.
00:24With a score on 97, he got out after 10 overs.
00:27The Kiwis were still in a good position to surge ahead.
00:34Their main problem proved to be the fact that they could not build the partnerships big enough to capitalise on their start.
00:41Conway goes for a top score of 56.

01:58Just two more wickets for the Black Caps to seal a comfortable win in a poorly executed chase.
02:04But you never know when the hero will step up.
02:07Romario Shepard and Springer took on the responsibility of bringing the match back for the West Indies.
02:14They brought a massive scare to their competitors.
02:18They had no idea how to dismiss Springer,
02:21who played straight and got most of his runs playing through the line.
02:25The two nearly got the win knees over the line until this fantastic catch from Duffy.
