New Zealand completed a perfect ODI series with a commanding six-wicket win over the West Indies in Hamilton, sealing a 3–0 whitewash. Mitchell Santner’s side, having already wrapped up the series, produced a composed performance with both bat and ball, leaving the visitors struggling throughout the three matches.
Electing to bat first after winning the toss, the West Indies never settled. Matt Henry spearheaded a brutal Kiwi pace attack, dismantling the Caribbean top order and reducing the visitors to 31 for 3. Roston Chase and John Campbell offered brief resistance with 38 and 29 respectively, but the West Indies were eventually bowled out for just 161 in 36.2 overs.
Chasing a modest total, New Zealand faced early jitters, losing three wickets for 32 runs. However, Mark Chapman anchored the innings with a calm 64, supported by Michael Bracewell’s unbeaten 40. Their partnership steadied the innings and ensured a comfortable six-wicket victory in 30.3 overs.
Henry’s four-wicket haul earned him the Player of the Match award, while Kyle Jamieson’s consistent all-round performances throughout the series secured him the Player of the Series accolade.
The clean sweep reinforced New Zealand’s dominance across formats, following their 3–1 victory in the T20 series earlier on the tour. The teams now turn their attention to the three-match Test series starting 2 December, with the West Indies aiming to restore some pride after a testing limited-overs campaign.
