00:09Five games in this series, the first, second and third will be here in Providence all day
00:17night matches and then we move to Barbados for the final two, the 4th and the 5th, 19th
00:25July and 21st July, a morning start and then a day-night game.
00:35A little bit earlier, the coin fell in favor of the West Indies and they elected to bowl
00:42first, hoping that the weather will continue to be good for us, just confirmation of the
00:51teams with Vital Laws, the 19-year-old making his international debut for the senior team
00:59from the Sinjago High School in Wakefield, Savannah.
01:05St. Catherine, Jamaica becomes the 230th ODI men's player to play for the West Indies.
01:13New Zealand with Matthew Fisher, a very, very exciting prospect, already played international
01:19cricket but a debut for him in ODIs and the welcome return for Jacob Duffy, Jaden Lennox
01:26in there as well and a bit Nichols and Young and Chapman, Mitchell, etc. at the top.
01:33It makes for an exciting prospect.
01:36An unfolding of events, West Indian fans will hope going in their direction.
01:42Whereas for New Zealand, many of their players playing in the Caribbean for the first time,
01:48there is an opportunity for them to enhance their reputations, to really show their quality.
01:55It's one of the best ODI teams in this cycle.
01:59Gary Pierre.
02:11Runs for Young, could be four of them, is four of them, the first boundary of the contest.
02:23We'll get to the boundary, touch two straight, leg by is given but runs for New Zealand.
02:34Nice shot.
02:36It has come on nicely enough to hit it on top of the bounce, very pleasant from Young.
02:51It's a pet shot of Henry Nichols and he gets a boundary as well.
02:57So two boundaries as well as four leg by is in the over.
03:0014 off it, 29 for none.
03:06Understanding the conditions, a nice little whip again.
03:08It will challenge the boundary, pick out field despite all of the run.
03:11In fact, it goes for four.
03:14Nice little shot there from Young.
03:21This will challenge the boundary.
03:23In fact, it's very well timed and placed by Will Young.
03:26A little bit of premeditation.
03:37A dive, missed it and so it will trickle away.
03:41It dribbles there now, actually.
03:44Nazari Joseph is angered by that effort.
03:52Oh, they're out of court.
03:55Vital lars you beauty into the side on debut.
03:59Despite having a track record to get to that decision.
04:06Nichols just tugging this one to the leg side.
04:09Not finding the elevation.
04:10The luring of bounce may be outdoing him on that occasion.
04:16But it brings a special moment to a special talent.
04:21Well done, Laws.
04:23Nichols departs for 27.
04:25It's 80 for one.
04:33That one loose and dismissed as it should be.
04:38Might well be the first six of the encounter and so signaled by umpire Alex Worf.
04:47So Gudakesh Moti, after creating a couple of almost chances, gets the wicket he deserves.
04:56The slowness, the flight, and luring Young into closing his blade too early.
05:04He was searching for a single through mid wicket and mid on.
05:09And found the safe pair of hands of Moti.
05:12One shot of a 50.
05:1496 for two.
05:19That's beautifully, beautifully struck.
05:22It was just checked down the ground.
05:26Timed it well.
05:27Hummed past the fielder for four.
05:33Didn't connect with the ball before.
05:37But manages to get not a bad delivery away to the boundary.
05:411-1-1 for two.
05:46That's where Mitchell is strong.
05:47Pace off delivery, but he picked it well.
05:501-2-1 for two.
05:59He does serve up a couple of loose deliveries per over again.
06:071-1 for three.
06:08Superb.
06:09Vital Lowe's.
06:12He gives you that wicket-taking delivery every so often.
06:16Absolutely brilliant to the joy.
06:18And She-Hope does the rest.
06:22Magnificent delivery.
06:24A special from Lowe's.
06:27Another one for him.
06:29Chapman goes for 27.
06:32125 for three.
06:37Will be four.
06:39Didn't mean to squirt it that fine, Latham.
06:41But he'll take it.
06:45Oh!
06:48Get it, get it!
06:54Will be four.
07:04Freezes arms.
07:06Daryl Mitchell.
07:08Brutal and beautiful.
07:13How's that one?
07:16Big appeal and given.
07:18Reviewed.
07:19They'll take the review, New Zealand.
07:21But Carrie Pierre, well, he wants to get involved.
07:26Original decision out.
07:28Pitching outside of.
07:29Impact in line.
07:31Wicket-seating.
07:33Dighton.
07:33Stay with your original out decision.
07:35Stand bar.
07:39You're on screen.
07:40Make a signal, please.
07:41Well, some lovely turn from Carrie Pierre.
07:43Trapping Tom Latham.
07:48He goes for 25.
07:49And New Zealand, 169 for four.
07:55Oh, dear.
07:56You've put the mockers on him.
07:58Thanks, Stacey Ann Adams.
08:00Well done.
08:00Beautiful shot, though.
08:01Off the bat of Bracewell.
08:08Rocks back on that one.
08:10And really well-placed and well-timed.
08:13Another boundary.
08:17That is where he's so strong, Daryl Mitchell.
08:20Anything that's pitched up usually gets that type of treatment.
08:29Swept in front of square.
08:32This is really good placement from Mitchell.
08:38This will be four again.
08:41Backward of square this time on another half-century.
08:45That's four consecutive 50-plus scores for Daryl Mitchell in this format,
08:50including two centuries.
09:01Yeah, four buys and then four runs.
09:04To end the over.
09:06New Zealand get eight from it.
09:07A little bit errant from Laws.
09:102-16 for four.
09:12Power play two done.
09:22That's unfortunate.
09:27Reverses.
09:28Did that carry?
09:29Or was it a crowd catch?
09:31The batter is asking Bracewell.
09:34Now trudges off.
09:35So, there is another wicket for the southpaw, the wrist spinner.
09:44Yeah.
09:45Yeah, I can see clearly.
09:47Fingers are under the ball.
09:50So, satisfied my decision for big screen.
10:04It's a confirmation that the catch was taken cleanly.
10:07The ball came off the bat.
10:08There was no bouncing off the turf.
10:11And the West Indies, they pick up a fifth wicket now.
10:15And he started his journey at this tier of crickets.
10:20That's one, Johnny.
10:20Your journey.
10:21Go, Johnny.
10:21Go, Johnny.
10:35Go, Johnny.
10:38Azari Joseph, in response, got that wicket.
10:40It's a big wicket as well in the context of the game.
10:44New Zealand looking to get that charge to the end of their innings.
10:48Just four and a bit remaining.
10:51Yeah, massive wicket, Daryl Mitchell.
10:53He has to go back for a well-made 65.
10:56New Zealand, 243 for six.
11:01That's straight.
11:03Was there bats?
11:04No bats, says the umpire.
11:06He thinks it's adjacent.
11:09And Smith will just have a think about things.
11:12The skipper is there, too, to advise.
11:14And we'll wait and see if he goes for the review.
11:21Yeah, this is good from West Indies.
11:24The set batter has gone.
11:25New batters in the middle.
11:27It is skidding.
11:28It is keeping low.
11:30So keeping the stumps in play in this phase is so important.
11:34And Azari Joseph has been spot on.
11:37He's been on target.
11:38Looking to keep the stumps in play.
11:41It works out to his advantage as Nathan Smith.
11:44He has to go back for five.
11:46West Indies picking up the seventh wicket.
11:49New Zealand, 251 for seven.
11:57And he's castled him.
12:00So the plan to bowl straight, to take the arms away, to finish on the stumps.
12:05Working well for Moti and West Indies.
12:08A second wicket now for the left arm spinner.
12:15Duffy was only aiming for one side of the ground, to the left side.
12:20Kulakesh Moti, just smart enough to keep the stumps in play.
12:25So a plan that's working very well for the West Indies.
12:36Duffy has to go back without scoring.
12:39New Zealand, 256 for eight.
12:45That's a biggie.
12:48Got under it nicely.
12:50Used the pace.
12:51And the right elevation.
12:56Goes straight once more.
12:58And will be caught.
13:00John Campbell running around.
13:02The miscued shot.
13:05Yeah, tries to go again, Michele Santner.
13:09This one sat up a little bit more.
13:11For the direction in which he was aiming for straight.
13:15Basically looking to hit it on the up.
13:17But couldn't get the elevation, Michele Santner.
13:20John Campbell running across.
13:21Takes a good catch.
13:2321 his contribution.
13:25New Zealand, 266 for nine.
13:29And he's well done.
13:53And here in the country of Ghana, we continue this first ODI between the West Indies and New Zealand.
14:00And Providence Stadium is the venue.
14:0381 wickets across all three formats in the last calendar year.
14:07The most by a New Zealand bowler.
14:09Will he swing it?
14:12He can swing the ball back into the left-handers when there is swing available.
14:21And as wide as you can get.
14:23Very uncharacteristic.
14:28Lovely touch.
14:31From...
14:32The left-hander just punching it.
14:38Real intent.
14:40That wasn't that short.
14:42And I've talked about sometimes the ball keeping low.
14:46So that's very brave and well executed from Akeemogis.
14:52That is audacious.
14:55It really is from John Campbell.
15:01It's a chance.
15:03It'll take some catching.
15:05But safely done.
15:07Well done.
15:09Quite fine his line early.
15:11But he has found that length.
15:13That hard length into the surface.
15:15John Campbell just looking to pull that one.
15:19Hit high up on the bat.
15:20And a very good catch from Nathan Smith.
15:24His opening bowler partner.
15:25So John Campbell has to go back for 11.
15:28But still he's 28 for 1.
15:33This time in the gap.
15:37Yeah that's going to be 4th.
15:39Trademark Casey Carty.
15:43Yeah we'll get a boundary.
15:46But inside the line nicely for that one.
15:50Oh my god.
15:51Oh my god.
15:52Oh my god.
15:58Good timing.
16:04Wonderful timing.
16:06All along the ground.
16:08Glorious from Akeemogis.
16:10Sometimes road pace can be a disadvantage.
16:15Lennox again.
16:21Lucky.
16:24Might run all the way to the boundaries.
16:26A chase on.
16:26Yep.
16:27Boundary off the first ball.
16:29Stay stand on it.
16:34This is.
16:35He flicked away for a 4.
16:46Well a score comparison on the number.
16:49It's just extraordinary how many times that happens.
16:51And I had 2 for 1.
16:52Exactly where New Zealand were at this stage of the game.
16:55268.
16:56The target for the Windies.
16:58To try and grab some points.
17:00And this first one the international.
17:02Yeah.
17:05Wicked breakthrough.
17:07What a catch.
17:08Can hardly believe it.
17:12Yeah Akeemogis.
17:13He has to go back.
17:14Jaden Lennox.
17:16With the strike for New Zealand.
17:18He desperately wanted to break the partnership.
17:27Sitting on that back foot Akeem.
17:30Looking to walk it to the onside.
17:33A healthy edge.
17:34And a very good take as well.
17:35From Tom Latham.
17:41And a good decision from the umpire.
17:43So Akeem has to go back for 38.
17:46But Stindy is 92 for 2.
17:54That is just beautiful.
17:56And classical.
17:58From the captain.
18:04Sledding loose.
18:05Here.
18:06On Jaden Lennox.
18:08Shea Hope.
18:09How about on the onside now?
18:11And how about 6 of them?
18:15Yeah this guy is such an ocular treat.
18:18Shea Hope.
18:19And he gets going.
18:21Perhaps just pulling back the lens slightly.
18:24He was on to it quickly.
18:26Shea Hope.
18:27Has such a good record in this format.
18:30And this is a prime example of why.
18:34Speaking of cricketers you love to watch.
18:40Flies past that slip.
18:44Aiming for inside out.
18:47One small Shea Hope.
18:48Getting enough bats on this stroke.
18:54Too short.
18:57Errant from Lennox.
18:59And dispatch from Shea.
19:10Terrific player of spin.
19:12Not invincible.
19:13But it's one of the reasons he controls and tries to control the middle order.
19:19As opposed to being on top where he's very very good.
19:24And they don't have another option up their sleeve if he continues to play with this vein.
19:30They could.
19:40Inside edge pawn once more.
19:44And it races away for four.
19:47Less risks.
19:49And more runs for the West Indies.
19:58Swept.
19:59In the gap.
20:01Great placement.
20:02And a very very good option executed.
20:09Yes indeed.
20:11And will get the two runs to bring up his 50.
20:15His 6th one day international half century.
20:18The man from St. Martin.
20:21Brings the crowd to their feet here at Providence.
20:24On this sensational Saturday night.
20:27The first half century in 12 innings.
20:30For Casey Carty.
20:32So it's a welcome return to form for him.
20:36This will do his confidence a world of good.
20:40We know of his quality and his class.
20:43The highest run scorer for the West Indies post the 2023 World Cup.
20:52And this is a lovely strike.
20:54Casey Carty in some form this evening here in Guyana.
20:58Four runs.
21:02Oh that's beautiful.
21:05One bounce for Casey Carty into the offside again.
21:09That's the aggression they were looking for.
21:11Boundary.
21:15Hear the sound on tape.
21:18The sound off the bat.
21:20What a wonderful maximum.
21:28That's really beautiful.
21:30Classical and easy into the onside.
21:38Look, every batter will go through a lean period.
21:44As we celebrate this half century from Shea Hooper.
21:5132nd in this format for the West Indien captain.
21:55He's had his lean patches.
21:58But one would say he's in a purple patch in this format.
22:06Terrific strike from Casey Carty.
22:10This has been a magnificent partnership.
22:14Highlighted by that extremely.
22:21Tickled fine.
22:31Very safely held by Nathan Smith.
22:36And it's the end of Casey Carty.
22:41He might reflect on this and wonder whether there was a need.
22:45But it's a good innings and a good return to form for him.
22:49He's trying to take on the fielder in the deep.
22:53Not middling it.
22:57Reverse cup.
22:59The preferred method for Nathan Smith.
23:03Agonizingly short.
23:06For Casey Carty.
23:09Excellent innings though.
23:102-23 for three.
23:18Too easy for Shea Hooper.
23:23He continues to show solidity.
23:26Run scoring.
23:31Magnificent.
23:35Superb.
23:37From Shea Hooper.
23:40It's certainly not difficult for Shea Hooper to see.
23:44First ball of the over.
23:46Immediate pressure exited.
23:48On the Kiwis.
23:51And just seven now needed from 11.
23:54This has been more than a captain's knock from Hooper again.
24:02There's Al-Zaria.
24:03I thought he was brilliant.
24:05Brilliant.
24:05At the back end particularly.
24:12Up and over.
24:16And over the boundary.
24:19Yes.
24:20Confirmed six.
24:21And confirms the win.
24:24For the West Indies.
24:27Breaking a streak previously.
24:29Of five consecutive losses.
24:31In this format of the game.
24:33And giving vital laws.
24:36A wonderful feeling on his debut.
24:40Senior debut for the West Indies.
24:44A win here by seven wickets.
24:47And one nil up in this five match series.
24:51Here against New Zealand.
24:54Another victory for West Indies in a chase.
24:57Make that nine out of ten times now.
25:00They've successfully chased at home.
25:04But it does mean the West Indies start this five match series.
25:08With a seven wicket win.
25:10On the back of vital laws.
25:13And Al-Zari Joseph.
25:14With their excellent bowling.
25:15Goodakish Moti as well.
25:18And half centuries from Carty and Hope.
