Sherfane Rutherford hit a sublime unbeaten 68 as West Indies fought back to beat New Zealand by 13 runs to book their place in the T20 World Cup Super 8s.
That proved to be more than enough on a two-paced surface as New Zealand fell away in the middle overs of the chase. They must now beat Uganda and Papua New Guinea in their remaining games and hope other results go their way.Prior to the match, the atmosphere at the Brian Lara Academy was one of excitement and anticipation after two victories to start the tournament for the home side.
Rutherford had scored only 20 after facing 21 balls but having seen his team-mates come in, hit a boundary or two and swiftly get out, he knew he had to bide his time. But, as Santner clubbed a trio of sixes in the last over, sharply reducing the margin of victory, the value of Rutherford's knock was made all the clearer.Player of the match, West Indies' Sherfane Rutherford:
