The T20 Series Showdown New Zealand played with clinical efficiency , honestlyand won the T20 series in just two matches, because west Indies could not cope with disciplined attack which had played excellently against different conditions. Match three ended a washout because of rain with less than 2, and story of my life, and 2 overs played. call me crazy but new Zealand won series 2-0 and played well right from the start.

Why

The West Indies Struggled West Indies found it hard to adapt; Kiwis move quickly and dominate on ground while West Indies did not handle conditions well against hosts. That's life. the way I figure it, they keep failing when under pressure and scoring runs becomes difficult. They cannot build partnerships at crucial moments and rarely win Tests when top order collapses quickly in early session. They need to improve strategy for away tours and rely too much on sporadic flashes against a side that has thoroughly drilled them. They have to play shots more consistently choosing different lengths.

The Broadcast Shift Impact fans reacted strongly when Spark Sport took over; they were used to Sky so they were quite skeptical of the changes. They were under great pressure for streaming service: failure would have been very bad. They managed to stream steadily though, because is streaming better than live watching? That depends on speed of internet connection, so i mean, streaming has some advantages , honestlybut missing important moments while streaming is very bad.

Looking Back At The Results new Zealand left the series with even higher standing and showed they are number one ranked in World Test Championship. You get the idea. West Indies left with much to improve. Clear home advantage continues to be evident: weather, climate and condition of the pitch worked to advantage of Black Caps and they did not miss this chance.

I mean. new Zealanders clearly enjoyed this tour: they filled stadiums where permitted and cheered loudly for their team, so that atmosphere is hard to match, you know?
