CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, Dec 26 (AFP): New Zealand completed a clean sweep of the West Indies in their one-day series with a commanding 66-run victory in a rain-affected third and final match in Christchurch on Tuesday.
With the match reduced to 23-overs-a-side, the West Indies were set a revised target of 166 in reply to New Zealand's 131.
At the close they were 99 for nine, after recovering from an initial collapse which saw them at nine for five and threatening Zimbabwe's world record ODI low of 35.
