Sunil Narine takes four wickets for 12 as the West Indies beat New Zealand by 61 runs in Florida.

The West Indies have claimed a 2-0 Twenty20 series win over New Zealand following an emphatic 61-run win in Florida.

Chris Gayle, whose side won the first match of the series by 56 runs on Saturday, won the toss and elected to bat.

The Windies started quickly as Kyle Mills conceded 14 off his first over - Dwayne Smith dispatching two of the three balls that he faced for six.

Gayle's contribution of 53, along with a late unbeaten 35 from Dwayne Bravo, helped set a challenging target of 177.

A superb performance by off-spinner Sunil Narine ensured that New Zealand got nowhere near that total.

Narine record figures of four for 12, including two wickets with consecutive deliveries, as the Kiwis were eventually all out for 116 in the 19th over.
