Kiwi’s bowlers could not make much effect except Santner who took 3 wickets off 27 runs in 4 overs.
While chasing 184 runs, NZ started well but lost Daryl Mitchel too early. Martin Guptill who was in good form tried to keep up with the required rate but got dismissed in the 11th over after scoring 51. Other batsmen fell like a deck of cards.
