After hosting the ICC Cricket World Cup for the first time in 2007, the West Indies got the opportunity to stage its first World T20 in 2010. In a rain-curtailed match, the African nation managed to gather only 84 runs on the board, with only 3 players getting into double figures, Tatenda Taibu scored 21 while Hamilton Masakadza scored 20.

Spinner Nathan McCullum and medium-pacer Scott Styris were the stand-out bowlers taking 3 wickets each. Though the total was small, New Zealand did not get the opportunity to surpass the total as rain played spoilsport when Brendon McCullum was batting alongside Martin Guptill. Eventually, the match was called off and the Kiwis won the group stage fixture with 9 wickets in hand via the Duckworth-Lewis method.
