New Zealand beats Windies by 90 runs, leads T20 series 2-0

Glenn Phillips struck a half-century from 33 balls to propel New Zealand to a 90-run win over the West Indies in the second Twenty20 international, clinching the three-match series with a 2-0 lead.

After reaching his fifth T20 half-century, Phillips went on to 76 from 40 balls and led New Zealand to 215-5 as it batted after winning the toss, exceeding the 185-5 that was a winning total in the first match of the series. His innings included six sixes and four fours.

The West Indies managed only 125-9 in reply, lacking the partnerships that underpinned a New Zealand total that was the highest by a visiting team against the West Indies in a T20 in the Caribbean.
