Duffy’s four-wicket blitz seals 3-1 series win for New Zealand

Jacob Duffy starred with the ball as New Zealand dominated West Indies in Dunedin, bowling them out for 140 before chasing down the target with eight wickets in hand. Duffy’s third-over blitz, which claimed three wickets in 11 balls, propelled him to 50 T20I wickets in just 38 matches, making him the third-fastest Kiwi to the milestone.

West Indies struggled in helpful conditions, losing four wickets in the powerplay. Despite a brief 42-run partnership between Roston Chase and Jason Holder, they could not recover from the collapse, finishing 140 all out.

Chasing a modest total, Devon Conway guided New Zealand calmly with 47*, while Tim Robinson impressed with 45 off 24 balls, evoking Brendon McCullum with aggressive strokeplay.

Duffy’s 4 for 35 highlights his impact, as New Zealand wrapped up the series 3-1 with a clinical performance on a fast, swinging pitch.
