Jayden Lennox followed his five-wicket haul in the second match with 4 for 52 - equalling the most wickets for a New Zealand spinner in a bilateral ODI series.


Tje West Indies lost 6 for 19, to fall from 121 for 3 to 140 for 9, which brought the end of their innings after John Campbell had been forced to retire hurt with what appeared a hamstring injury. Keacy Carty top-scored with 48 while Ackeem Auguste and Shimron Hetmyer made 26 each.


While Lennox took four wickets captain Mitch Santner had 2-15 from 8.1 overs and Michael Bracewell 2-33 from 10 overs. Jacob Duffy had the other wicket.


An unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 52 between Tom Latham and Dean Foxcroft then ensured New Zealand overcame a wobble to coast to victory.


Other contributors were Henry Nicholls 24, Will Young 23 and Daryl Mitchell 28.


The Black Caps lead the series 2-1 with the two remaining matches in Barbadoes.
