3 times New Zealand stuttered in the Super Over

#2. vs England at Auckland 2019

New Zealand had a Lord's deja vu moment in Auckland

A few months after the World Cup, England and New Zealand faced another Super Over, this time in Auckland in the 5th and deciding T20I. England needed 16 to win in the final over, chasing 147 in 11 overs. Chris Jordan hit Jimmy Neesham for a six over long-off and a four to fine leg to tie the match.

England skipper Eoin Morgan and Jonny Bairstow smashed Southee for a six each in the Super Over to steal 17 runs. After his heroics with the bat, Jordan then bowled a brilliant Super Over, conceding only eight and claiming the wicket of Seifert. In many ways, it was a repeat of what transpired in the World Cup final at Lord’s.

Coming back to the Auckland game, in a 11-over contest, New Zealand batted first and posted 146 for 5 courtesy Guptill’s 50 from 20 balls, Munro’s 46 from 21 and Seifert’s 39 from 16 with five sixes.

England were equally brilliant though as Jonny Bairstow hammered 47 from 18, also hitting five sixes. Sam Curran contributed 24 from 11 before Jordan took first took them to the Super Over with the bat, and then to victory with the ball as England claimed the five-match series 3-2.

New Zealand has an awful record in Super Overs (7 T20Is and 1 ODI) as they have won only 1 out of the 8, they have played.
