Windies destroy NZ

Hamilton, Jan 8: The West Indies racked up their highest-ever limited overs total to crush New Zealand by 203 runs in the fifth one-day international today, and draw the series 2-2.
Kirk Edwards and Dwayne Bravo both notched centuries as the West Indies flayed New Zealand’s attack to reach 363 for four, before Nikita Miller dominated with the ball to skittle the Black Caps for 160.
The mammoth total was the highest ever posted by the West Indies in a 50-over match, surpassing the previous mark of 360 set against Sri Lanka in 1987.
Edwards and Dwayne Bravo came together at 143-3 and put on 211 runs, with Edwards finishing unbeaten on 123, his maiden ODI century. Skipper Bravo was dismissed shortly before the end of the innings for 106.(PTI)
