West Indies ended their ODI series against New Zealand on a winning note with a dramatic two-wicket victory in the fifth and final match at Bridgetown, Barbados. The hosts successfully chased down a target of 269 runs to register their second win of the series, although New Zealand still claimed the five-match contest 3-2.

New Zealand moved closer to a series victory after defeating West Indies by six wickets in the third ODI at Guyana, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. A disciplined bowling performance led by spinner Jaden Lennox restricted the hosts to a modest total before captain Tom Latham guided the visitors home with an unbeaten half-century.
