Sherfane Rutherford came to the crease with West Indies 22-4. There had been a series of rash shots at that point, but he batted with a real calmness and maturity to drag his side up to a total.
It was a perfectly paced innings too. He was 20 off 21 balls but finished 68 not out from 39.
He hit six sixes and two fours. Four of those sixes and both fours came in the final two overs.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson will have all sorts running through his head at the moment.
Was he right to bowl out his three main pace bowlers - Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson - by the 18th over?
It left him with Daryl Mitchell bowling his first over in the 19th and then the spin of Mitchell Santner bowling the final set.
Those two overs cost 37 runs and have given West Indies a lot of momentum at the interval.

How has this unravelled so quickly for New Zealand?

West Indies were absolutely nowhere a matter of overs ago and now they've got a more than respectable total.
What a remarkable comeback.
WI 149-9
Four to end the innings!
Fired across Sherfane Rutherford again but he's able to cut over the covers and find the boundary.
He finishes with a quite brilliant unbeaten 68 off 39 balls and he's dragged West Indies up to a competitive total.
Their bowlers certainly have something to bowl at now.

That's gone as well! You little beauty, what a shot that is!
Image source, Getty ImagesMy word. What a shot.
Mitchell Santner is firing it across Sherfane Rutherford but the left-hander gets across, down on one knee and slog sweeps over wide long-on for another six.
Sliced into the air by Sherfane Rutherford but it drops between two fielders.
The left-hander gets a couple more.

Former England batter on BBC Sounds
You can see the pressure now getting to New Zealand. Some of the fielding is getting a bit ragged.
Lovely shot!
Carved over the covers by Sherfane Rutherford.
This is really changing the momentum.
Dot ball followed by a two out to deep cover.
It was wide from Mitchell Santner and Sherfane Rutherford was reaching for it but a poor throw allows the second run.
Mitchell Santner's left-arm spin will end the innings.
Can Sherfane Rutherford cause more damage?
Michael Carberry
Former England batter on BBC Sounds
A superb knock. One of the best in the tournament given the context of the game.
He has played the smart game.

Every single one of Rutherford's team-mates are on their feet, so is everyone in the cricket ground.
They appreciate that innings. That is a T20 innings of the highest class.
WI 131-9
Really clever stuff from Sherfane Rutherford. He takes a single to end the over and bring up his half-century.
It comes up off 33 balls with five sixes and no fours!
It's been a very mature innings from the left-hander.
Aatif Nawaz
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
That's a monstrous hit from Rutherford! This is an onslaught.
Six more.
Is this turning the game?
It's short from Daryl Mitchell, and even though Sherfane Rutherford doesn't get all of it, it clears the fine leg boundary.
The decision to bowl out the main bowlers is coming back to haunt Kane Williamson.
Michael Carberry
Former England batter on BBC Sounds
What a shot that was! Just a flick of the wrists, that is an unbelievable shot.
Rutherford is playing a blinder. What a mature innings this has been.
And again!
Fuller from Daryl Mitchell this time and Sherfane Rutherford just pummels it over wide long-on.
Superb striking.
Michael Carberry
Former England batter on BBC Sounds
It's outta here.
Daryl Mitchell is the bowler to go after. Rutherford has got to hit boundaries and farm the strike.
