New Zealand pose with the trophy after wrapping up the series 2-0. They had to fight hard for the win yesterday, but it was a different story today as they emerged comprehensive winners by 8 wickets. That's all we have from here. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, it's goodbye!
Santner: Played a lot better today. Wind can be tricky here. Tried slowing a couple (with the ball), and paid off today. The pitch played a lot better today. Intent we showed throughout the innings was outstanding. Focus before the game was to come hard. You bank on experience every time you play. Different guys stepping up at different times. We'll have a couple of big dogs coming back for the West Indies.
Edwards: The way we bowled and fielded didn't help to show what a par score was. Against a quality side, can't afford to drop catches. His batting, his fielding, his bowling - he (Bas de Leede) has been sensational the last year or so. This is the sort of cricket you want to be playing in preparation for the WC.
19:46 Local Time, 17:46 GMT, 23:16 IST: New Zealand have smashed down the target with six overs to spare, riding on an unbeaten 123-run stand for the third wicket between Santner and Mitchell off just 65 balls. Santner promoted himself to number three today, came out swinging, rode his luck but also showcased some excellent hitting to take the game away quickly. Netherlands weren't defending much. They picked up a couple of wickets quickly, but weren't able to curtail Santner's onslaught. And then Mitchell also unleashed towards the end to complete the hammering.
