A century to stalwart Suzie Bates guided the White Ferns to an eight-wicket second-ODI thumping of the West Indies yesterday.
Set a straightforward target of 195 for victory, the Kiwis blitzed their opponents in Lincoln, reaching 175-0 before the 30-over mark.
Sophie Devine fell for an impressive 80, caught off
an Afy Fletcher delivery, but opening partner Bates cruised to her ton, scoring 101.
It was the 30-year-old Bates' ninth ODI century in 109 matches.
The Ferns wrapped up the game in the 31st over.
