West Indies’ batting woes continued as they were bowled out for 138, paving the way for New Zealand to cruise to a five-wicket victory in the second One-Day International at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Monday.

That defeat leveled the five-match series at 1-1 ahead of Thursday’s third game, after the West Indies claimed a seven-wicket win in the opening ODI on Saturday.

Asked to bat first, the home side slumped from 66 without loss in the 11th over to 138 all out in the 36th, with Player of the Match Jayden Lennox ripping through the batting line-up with figures of 5 for 19.
