New Zealand pulverised a demoralised West Indies by 90 runs in the second T20 International at Sabina Park on Friday to take an unbeatable 2-0 in the three-match series.

In a one-sided encounter which magnified the rapid decline of the two-time World T20 winners over the past 12 months, the Black Caps piled up 215 for five.

They then limited the home team to just 125 for nine in reply to hand the Caribbean side a sixth defeat in their last seven matches in the format.

Glen Phillips' blistering 76 off 41 balls with six sixes and four fours highlighted the tourists' dominant batting performance and earned him the man of the match award after captain Kane Williamson chose to take first strike.

New Zealand defeated West Indies by 50 runs in the rain-affected second ODI match between the sides at Kensington Oval, Barbados on Friday.

Finn Allen was their star on the match day as he scored 96 runs to take the side to 212 before it got bundled out. Meanwhile, Michael Bracewell also hogged limelight, not for his batting or bowling but for a sensational catch he took in the match.
