Mark Chapman demonstrated resilience with a gritty half-century, guiding New Zealand to a comprehensive four-wicket win against the West Indies in the third one-day international, securing a 3-0 series sweep.

Chapman's composed innings of 64, forged from 58 deliveries, was essential in New Zealand's successful chase of the West Indies' modest 161 run target, with Michael Bracewell providing solid support in a vital 75-run partnership for the fifth wicket.

Despite a tense start, as New Zealand stumbled to 32-3, Chapman and Bracewell steadied the innings, capitalizing on West Indies' early swing and spin attack. West Indies' captain Shai Hope might have misjudged the pitch, which offered more challenge than its appearance suggested, allowing New Zealand's bowlers to shine, particularly Matt Henry who captured 4-43.
