The first One Day International of the series, played at the Sabina Park, Kingston in Jamaica was won by the hosts by nine wickets (D/L) method. After being put into bat under overcast conditions, the New Zealand batsmen could manage 190 for 9 in their allotted quota of 50 overs, courtesy a painstaking 60-run knock by the wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 bowlers with figures of 4 for 45 from 10 overs. The hosts got off to a steady start reaching 93 for 1 at the end of the 18th over, before rain stopped the proceedings of the match. Once the play was resumes, the Windies were given a revised target of 136 runs from 33 overs, which they comfortably chased down in 24.2 overs, without losing any more wickets.
