New Zealand's spin attack produced a dramatic turnaround in the second ODI. After managing just two wickets from 25 overs in the series opener, the spinners accounted for all nine bowling dismissals two days later. West Indies, who had raced to 63 without loss, suffered a stunning collapse as they were bowled out for 138, losing 10 wickets for 75 runs.
Left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox led the rout with a five-wicket haul. A sensational spell from Lennox powered New Zealand to a five-wicket win and brought the ODI series back on level terms.
The left-arm spinner recorded the third-best figures ever by a New Zealand spinner in men's ODIs, taking 5 for 19 on a surface that offered considerable assistance to the slow bowlers. West Indies fell apart after a strong start, collapsing from a position of strength to 138 all out after losing all 10 wickets for 75 runs. Tom Latham then anchored the chase to guide the visitors home despite the tricky conditions.
Lennox began his demolition job by beating Shai Hope's attempted drive and sending the ball into the leg stump. From there, the left-arm spinner kept finding ways to break through the defence. Sherfane Rutherford's resistance ended when his attempted block deflected back onto the stumps, while Gudakesh Motie was trapped after being beaten on the back foot.
Matthew Forde fell while attempting an ambitious cross-batted shot, before Lennox completed his five-wicket haul by winning a close lbw decision against Lawes to wrap up the innings.
