‘We Don’t Really Know’: Black Caps Face Anxious Wait over Mitchell Injury

Daryl Mitchell's century helps New Zealand post a strong total of 269-7 in the first ODI of the series against West Indies.

  • On Sunday , Daryl Mitchell scored 119 from 118 balls as New Zealand posted 269-7 at Hagley Oval, Christchurch.
  • In contrast, West Indies arrived with seam‑bowling injuries, with Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Ramon Simmonds and Jediah Blades ruled out, recalling John Campbell and adding uncapped seamer Johann Layne.
  • Mitchell carried his bat until the last over, overcoming a groin injury treated on-field when he was 79 in the 41st over, and scored his century from 107 balls.
  • Jacob Duffy defended the target in the last over as West Indies needed nine from two balls but managed only one, while Kyle Jamieson took 3-52 and Jayden Seales claimed 3-41.
  • Conditions limited scoring but West Indies accelerated late — Sherfane Rutherford scored 55 and a late partnership carried them into the final over, leaving the series poised for a decisive second game in Napier on Wednesday.
