My job in the team is to get us off to a good start. The asking rate was brought down to 6 RPO by the ninth over and all it needed was sensible batting for the hosts to cross the line. The stand-in captain finishes it off in style and punches the air in delight. Leading up to the WC, we want to play well in the T20s. WI captain: It's a pleasure playing for WI, it's a special feeling to be the captain. The ability to know what the situation is. I chopped and changed to keep the bowlers fresh and the NZ batters thinking. The effort was there, it was great to get the series win. Player of the Series: It's special to come to Sabina and perform in front the fans. Credit to the bowlers. NZ captain: Firstly, congratulations to the West Indies the way they played. On that note, it's time to bring the curtains down on this encounter.

Stand-in captain Powell added the finishing touches after a below-par batting display from New Zealand.

We knew that with 140 things would have to go well for us with the ball and they outplayed us today." "With the bat we felt if we could get another 15 or so we could get a bit of momentum but they were able to take wickets throughout an execute their plans beautifully. Phillips needed to bat through but was out at a critical stage when New Zealand was 125 for 5 in the 17th over. West Indies innings stood in complete contrast with the opening partnership between King and Brooks occupying 13.1 overs and making the result a foregone conclusion. That task fell again to Phillips who made 41 from 26 balls and was Player of the Series. They did an excellent job for us and made my job that much easier."
