New Zealand Opening Batsmen Shatter Test Match Records Against WI
Final Test, Mount Maunganui (day four of five)
- New Zealand 575 for 8 declared: Conway 227, Latham 137 and 306-2 dec: Latham 101, Conway 100
- West Indies 420: Hodge 123 and 43-0
New Zealand's Tom Latham and Devon Conway made history by becoming the first openers in Test match history to register tons in each innings of a match, leaving the West Indies a record 462-run target for victory.
Latham posted 137 and 101 in this series decider, while Conway added to his mammoth 227 in the first innings with a precise 100 in the second.
The duo had constructed a massive 323-run stand in the first innings, combining for 515 runs overall—a new record for the highest aggregate an opening pair in a single Test match.
Furthermore, Conway entered rare company in Test history to score a double hundred and a hundred in the identical game.
He followed legends like Greg Chappell, Sunil Gavaskar, Graham Gooch, Brian Lara, and Kumar Sangakkara in achieving this extraordinary feat.
Game Situation
Earlier on day four, the Windies were bowled out for 420, trailing by 155 runs, before Latham and Conway again took to the crease.
Along with contributions from Kane Williamson (40) and Rachin Ravindra (46), the New Zealand top order propelled their side to 306-2 before a sporting declaration, leaving the visitors a near-impossible target of 462 to win and level the series.
At the stumps, West Indies openers had reached 43-0, with John Campbell showing great patience to score two runs from 50 balls, while Brandon King made 37.
