Luke Ronchi blasted a half-century as New Zealand beat West Indies by four wickets in Hamilton to complete a 2-0 T20 series victory.

Chasing 160 to win, the Kiwis made their target with six balls to spare as Ronchi hit an unbeaten 51 off 28 balls.

The West Indies made 159-5 in their 20 overs with wicket keeper Denesh Ramdin top scoring with an unbeaten 55.

After the loss of Johnson Charles in the fourth over for just seven runs, fellow opener Lendl Simmons gave the innings some impetus with 29 off 19 balls before falling in the sixth over with the score on 37.

Captain Dwayne Bravo (12) and Chadwick Walton (third-ball duck) went in quick succession, but Andre Fletcher and Ramdin put on 70 for the fifth wicket.

Fletcher made 40 from 36 balls before being run out in the 18th over, while Ramdin struck three fours and three maximums in his maiden T20 International half-century.

Ronchi had hit four boundaries and two sixes and was happy to watch James Neesham hit Tino Best for two fours and a six in the penultimate over to clinch the victory on a ground where the hosts have suffered before.

New Zealand won the Test series 2-0 with the one-day international series level at 2-2.
