Shamarh Brooks played the sheet anchor role to perfection in guiding the West Indies to a five-wicket victory over top-ranked New Zealand in a low-scoring opening day-night One-Day International of a three-match series at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Wednesday. After the home side's bowling combination pace and spin dismissed the visitors for 190 off 45.2 overs batting first, Brooks' 91-ball 79 with nine fours and one six provided the much-needed solidity to take his team to 193 for five off 39 overs in reply.
West Indies to a five-wicket victory over top-ranked New Zealand in a low-scoring opening day-night one-day international of a three-match series at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Wednesday. After the home side's bowling combination of pace and spin dismissed the visitors for 190 off 45.2 overs batting first, Brooks's 91-ball 79 with nine fours and one six provided the much-needed solidity to take his team to 193 for five off 39 overs in reply.
