The Black Caps escaped a late West Indies charge to win the second T20 cricket international of the five-match series by three runs in Auckland. 

The hosts made 207 for five – Mark Chapman excelled with 78 off 28 balls and three catches. 

The visitors were struggling at 93 for six in the 13th over, but a flurry saw them require 16 off the last. 

Chapman joined Piney to discuss his performance.  

“It was just one of those days where the ball seemed to find the middle of the bat and you're just enjoying yourselves.”
