It was the first time New Zealand have been dismissed in a 50-over match since March 2020.

Hosein, Joseph and debuting spinners Kevin Sinclair and Yannic Carriah turned the tide after the Kiwis were put in to bat on Wednesday. Accurate bowling in the middle overs on a pitch which especially rewarded spinners with bounce was crucial in Barbados.

The Black Caps made a solid start with a 41-run partnership between Martin Guptill and Finn Allen, who struck two sixes and a four from Jason Holder's seventh over.

A short rain break followed at the end of the eighth over and Allen was out for 25 four balls after the resumption.

Allen was Hosein's first wicket, caught by captain Nicholas Pooran, and Guptill fell in Hosein's next over, caught by Kyle Mayers at slip for 24 and New Zealand were 2-53.

Captain Kane Williamson attempted to lead a New Zealand recovery with 34 from 50 balls but lacked support. Devon Conway (4) came and went quickly and Tom Latham managed only 12.

Williamson's partnership with Daryl Mitchell held promise and the pair had added 28 for the fifth wicket before both batsmen fell to Joseph in the 30th over.

Mitchell (20) was trapped lbw and Williamson (34) followed in the same manner only four balls later.

Allrounders Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner gave New Zealand hope of a more substantial total with a partnership of 40 for the seventh wicket.

But just as it seemed they would tip the match back in their favour, Bracewell was out for 31 from 33 balls, trapped lbw to give Carriah his first ODI wicket. The Trinidadian wrist spinner finished with 1-49 from nine overs.

The New Zealand tail often comes to their rescue but on this occasion there was no fightback. Santner was out for 25 with the total 8-189 and the last two wickets fell quickly.
