New Zealand elect to bat, Trent Boult returns

Toss New Zealand elected to bat v West Indies
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

Kane Williamson won the toss for New Zealand and elected to bat in the third and final T20I of the series in Mount Manganui. The hosts made one change, with Trent Boult coming in for medium-pacer Seth Rance.

West Indies made two changes to their fast bowling line-up in the hunt for their first win of the tour. Trinidadian Rayad Emrit was handed a T20I debut, replacing Sheldon Cottrell, while the experienced Jerome Taylor came in for Kesrick Williams. West Indies are a loss away from returning without a single win on a New Zealand tour, a reality they last saw nearly 18 years ago.

New Zealand: 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Colin Munro, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Glenn Phillips (wk), 5 Tom Bruce, 6 Anaru Kitchen, 7 Mitchell Santner, 8 Tim Southee, 9 Seth Rance, 10 Trent Boult, 11 Ish Sodhi
