Kaieteur Sports – On the eve of a crucial, momentum-gaining 3rd and final ODI at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, West Indies Head Coach Darren Sammy lauded his men despite a tough loss in Game 2, calling for more discipline from his batters but remains optimistic that his team can sign off their time in Guyana with another W; before winging out to Barbados, with winning the series being the team’s main priority.

With the 5-match series currently deadlocked at 1–1, West Indies bagged the opening match by 7 wickets after Keacy Carty’s 95 and captain Shai Hope’s unbeaten 87.

Not to be fazed by the loss, New Zealand quickly issued an empathic response in the second ODI after left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox dismantled the Caribbean men to claim career-best figures of 5-19, skittling the hosts for a paltry 138 runs before easing to a 5-wicket win.
