At Kingston, June 5. No result. Toss: New Zealand. International debut: P. A. Hitchcock.
Heavy rain, which had flooded Jamaica and washed away Kingston's two one-day internationals
against India in the previous fortnight, returned as New Zealand walked out to field. It saved them
from defending a modest total, which betrayed their lack of match practice as well as a pitch that
had been sweating under the covers. They struggled to 37 for four in 16 overs, but McMillan held
firm, adding 67 in the next 17 with Vincent.
