Guptil's double century helps Kiwis score 393/6
Guptil's unbeaten 237 came in 163 balls as he carried the team almost alone to a seemingly unassailable total even as skipper-opener Brendon Mccullum and Kane Williamson returned early to the pavilion scoring respectively 12 and 28.
Guptil, who built up a 243-run partnership with a supportive Ross Taylor, became the first Kiwi to score a double century in ODI.
For the Carribeans Jerome Taylor was the most successful bowler, who took three wickets giving away 71 runs.
