The hosts continue their domination over the visitors. A whitewash is what they will be looking for in the third and the final ODI. Boult with his best bowling figure of 7 for 34 help Kiwis to win the series against West Indies. Trent Boult's record-breaking 7-34 has powered New Zealand to a 204-run win over the West Indies in the second one-day international at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The comfortable win secures the three-match series for the Blackcaps after their first-up five-wicket win in Whangarei on Wednesday, with the third and final ODI in Christchurch on Boxing Day. The Windies never looked like chasing down New Zealand's 325-run target, bowled out for 121 in 28 overs with Boult the main destroyer in topping New Zealand's all-time bowling figures against the West Indies.

 

New Zealeander pace machine Trent Boult also complete his 100 ODI wickets with his haul, having collected 94 going into Saturday's match. New Zealand's 325-6 was set up by a 130-run sixth-wicket stand between Henry Nicholls and Todd Astle. Nicholls' unbeaten 83 off 62 balls led the way to his best-ever ODI tally, the 26-year-old left-hander belting seven fours and two sixes along the way. Astle provided invaluable support in just his second ODI, falling one run short of his maiden 50 when he was clean bowled by seamer Sheldon Cottrell two balls into the final over.
