New Zealand face early exit after West Indies defeat

Sherfane Rutherford’s unbeaten 68 lifted West Indies to 149/9 after a poor start. Their bowlers then contained New Zealand to 136/9 to secure a 13-run victory in the T20 World Cup. Alzarri Joseph took 4/19 as West Indies completed their third straight win to reach the Super Eight phase. The defeat leaves New Zealand needing a miracle to progress, facing elimination if Afghanistan beats Papua New Guinea on Thursday. PHOTO: FACEBOOK
