West Indies’ thrilling two-wicket victory over New Zealand in the fifth and final One Day International has been tempered by a five per cent match-fee fine for maintaining a slow over-rate.

The issue has been a recurring one for West Indies in recent times.

Despite the win in the day/night encounter on Tuesday at Kensington Oval, New Zealand secured a 3-2 series win, with the regional side now switching format and focus, as they prepare to oppose Pakistan in a two Test series, which gets underway at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on Saturday.
