West Indian cricket team in New Zealand in 2020–21

The West Indies cricket team toured New Zealand in November and


December 2020 to play two Tests and three Twenty20
International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The Test series formed part of the
inaugural 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship.[3] In August
2020, New Zealand Cricket confirmed that the tour was going ahead,
[4]
 and were working with their government to comply with biosecurity
during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] On 29 September 2020, New Zealand
Cricket confirmed the schedule against the West Indies.[6][7]

It was the first live home cricket coverage for the New Zealand
broadcaster Spark Sport,[8] after they won the New Zealand Cricket
broadcast rights against the previous broadcasters Sky Sport.[9]

New Zealand won the first two T20I matches to take an unassailable
lead in the series.[10] The third and final match was abandoned after 2.2
overs of play due to rain, with New Zealand winning the series 2–0.
[11]
 New Zealand won the first Test match by an innings and 134 runs,
with their captain Kane Williamson scoring 251 runs in the first innings.
[12]
 New Zealand also won the second Test match to take the series 2–0,
and extend their unbeaten run at home in Test cricket to fifteen matches.
