11:13 pm on 6 November 2025

New Zealand used a get out of jail card as they held off a frantic flurry by the West Indies to win the second T20 International at Auckland's Eden Park by three runs.

Mark Chapman was named the Player of the Match for his brilliant 78 off 28 as well as a standout fielding display - where he claimed three crucial outfield catches to help New Zealand to a series-leveling victory.

The five-match series now heads to Saxton Oval for Games 3 and 4, which will be played on Sunday and Monday afternoon.
