Morna Nielsen conceded only eight runs in four overs and took two wickets for New Zealand, while Suzie Bates took 2 for 12.

New Zealand lost Sam Curtis for a duck in the chase but Bates scored 50 and Sara McGlashan contributed 32 as they scored 103 for 2 in 16.3 overs. Anisa Mohammed was economical for West Indies, finishing with figures of 4-0-9-1.
