Ferguson delivers unlikely win over Windies: 1st T20 (Auckland)

Paceman Lockie Ferguson took a burst of five wickets to help New Zealand to an unlikely victory over West Indies.

Ferguson took 5-21 to prevent the West Indies from posting a total even more imposing than the 180-7 they managed in 16 overs.

Jimmy Neesham saw the Black Caps home, finishing not out on 48 off 24 balls as they chased down their adjusted target of 176 with five wickets in hand and four balls to spare.

New Zealand 179 for 5 (Neesham 48*, Conway 41, Thomas 2-23) beat West Indies 180/7 (Pollard 75*, Fletcher 34, Ferguson 5-21, Southee 2-22) by 5 wickets (DLS method).
