While Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans were delighted to see Allen smash the bowlers to all parts of the ground, others trolled them for benching such an explosive player for two IPL seasons.

Why do they think no one expected this?How do they think he achieved that T20 strike rate of 172 (162 in T20Is)?

He's a fine guy but is also 38 and will at the very most be around for another 2 seasons. RCB have already made the investment in Allen; now time to reap the rewards.1Wonder if Faf might consider resting himself for a few games here and there to let Finn Allen have a go.

Although skipper Kane Williamson struggled to get going, the likes of Glenn Phillips and James Neesham played their part and powered New Zealand to the 200-run mark.Australia have already lost the big wicket of David Warner and have just scored 19 runs at the end of their first three overs. Captain Aaron Finch might have to bat deep and let the other power-hitters play their natural game around him.The pressure will be high on the hosts since they will not want to start their home tournament with a loss.Australia XI: Aaron Finch (c), David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh HazlewoodNew Zealand XI: Finn Allen, Devon Conway (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult, Ish Sodhi
