New Zealand's chase wasn't easy, however Tom Latham guided the side to 141-5 with 104 balls to spare.
Lennox, who had not taken more than two wickets in his previous six ODIs, went through West Indies' middle order with the first four of his successes being bowled. His final return left him behind just Ish Sodhi's 6 for 39 and Daniel Vettori's 5 for 7 among New Zealand spinners.
The nine wickets shared between New Zealand's spinners was their most in an ODI innings. After the initial opening spells from Jacob Duffy and Matthew Fisher - the latter who pushed the speed gun to 146kph - New Zealand did not use pace again.
At bat Latham finished not out 37 and Michael Bracewell 24 from 26 balls.
Eerlier Henry Nicolls made 17, Will Young 28 from 31 balls while Mark Chapman was out to a smart run out for no score.
Daryl Mitchell made 28 while Dean Foxcroft was out for not score.
Opener John Campbell top-scored for the home side with 43 from 41 balls while Amir Jangoo made 24 lower down the order.
The series continues with one more match in Guyana on Thursday before the final two are staged in Barbados. The first of those on Sunday has been changed to a day game
