The West Indies have set NZ 260 to win the first match.

123/3 after 28 in the reply. Need some fast runs

211/6. 49 from 41 balls. Devine got her ton.

West Indies has never won in NZ

Devine gone. Game on

Sophy Devine pokes the ball back to the bowler.

Difficult to see NZ coming back from here.

Game on?

Game done, you mean.

With Devine there, NZ stood a chance. With her gone, the 45 runs off 35 balls is nigh on impossible.

20 from 13. Still getable

Kerr taking them on.

They may actually have a chance.

20 runs needed off 12 balls.

The Kiwi girls look pretty attractive.

Important 2 balls

Did she just attempt a mankadding there?

Stopped in her delivery stride, but the non striker hadn't left her crease.

Next delivery goes for four.

10 from 7.

Another four,

Six need from the last over.

Well thatz the ball game. Two 4s will seal it for NZ

Look like a Bok 7s player to bowl the last over

After looking down and out NZ are now favourites heading to the last over. I have a nasty feeling about this still though.

Martin goes.

5 needed from 4.

Exciting game this.

Kerr holes out.

Easy catch.

5 from 2.

Four from two needed, nine down, two new batters. No pressure.

Will the West Indies keep their fielders in?

Well play West Indies.

Oh dear, run out without facing a ball (hate it when that happens). It did feel with this NZ side that the most dangerous time was when they got their noses in front.

That remind me always to Donald and Zuku Klusner.

SA made a modest 208. Bangladesh 108/4 after 34, on their way to victory.

Khaka gets her 100th wicket. 109/5

Another tense finish. 37 from 15, 8 down

Proteas won by 33 runs.

Oz did it easy against England

India hammered Pakistan after looking like getting skittled after losing 5 early wickets

NZ up against Bangers in Dunedin today - if it bloody stops raining. We cannot afford to drop a point here

It’s looks pretty wet at the moment.

Are we any chance if it’s rained off or is that us suffering the ignominy of England 2015 going out in the group stages of our own World Cup (with less hubris obviously)?

It’s on but reduced to 27 overs. Bangladesh are off to a flyer at 47-0 in the 7th over. Big pressure on NZ.

It's a bit of a race against the weather as they must play 20 overs for a result to be recorded. NZ in complete control at the moment

A win by 9 wickets in only 20 overs, Bates and Kerr totally dominant.

What’s the mine next to the University Oval in Dunedin? I haven’t seen it before but in some shots it’s a pretty expansive hole.

Could there be a renaming to the Contiki University Oval?

Watched the Windies Vs Poms game today. Really enjoyed it - Windies got the upset by 7 runs including a couple of spectacular plays that made the diference.

The catch at gully and the runout of the backing up batter were pretty good

NZ 260 should be enough.

Solid start in the field with India 26-2 after 12.

Easy win for NZ.

SA vs Pakistan next.

Pakistan needs 224.

Wolvaard & Luus top score.
