The victory ended New Zealand's run of eight Twenty20 losses and left the series tied at 1-1 after the visitors won the previous match in Auckland in a super over eliminator.

There was no such drama at Seddon Park in Hamilton, although the departure of McCullum for 59 sparked a batting collapse that saw the next five New Zealand wickets fall for 34 runs in 34 balls.

New Zealand eventually finished on 191 for nine, a total the West Indies never looked likely of reaching once Chris Gayle was dismissed by debutant Ewen Thompson for one in the second over.

The prized wicket came off Thompson's second ball to give the Aucklander a wicket maiden in his first over in international cricket.

The opening stand between Ryder and McCullum was a New Zealand record for any wicket in a Twenty20 match and they set about the West Indies attack from the start.

A sloppy fielding effort by the visitors was punished as Ryder, who was dropped on 16 and 49, peppered the boundary on his way to a 41-ball 62.

At the other end McCullum was equally as expansive striking six fours and four sixes in his 34-ball 59.
