The New Zealand cricketers have completed a three nil series whitewash over the West Indies, with a comprehensive 66 run win in the third and final game in Christchurch.
The match got underway on time but forecast rain arrived early in the afternoon and kept players off the field for five hours, with the match eventually shortened to 23 overs a side.
The Black Caps stuttered to 131‑4, thanks mainly to a 73‑run partnership for the fourth wicket between stand‑in skipper Tom Latham and the in‑form Ross Taylor having been reduced to 26 for three at one stage.
The West Indies will finish their tour with a three‑match Twenty20 series against New Zealand, beginning at Saxton Oval in Nelson on Friday.
The two sides now play a three match T20 series, the first game of which is in Nelson on Friday.
