#3 Williamson’s runout
After the loss of both the openers, New Zealand’s best two – Williamson and Taylor – got their heads down to the task of consolidating the innings. The duo added 83 for the third wicket and scored at just less than 5 per over. However, at 152, off the final delivery of the 30th over, a terrible mix-up saw the captain running himself out while going for a non-existent run.
Williamson, batting on 57, had been in stellar form, with scores of 100 and 87 against Australia and England, and was well set for another big one. Had he stayed on and the fruitful association with Taylor continued, the two set batsmen would have capitalised on their starts and definitely pushed the score closer to 300.
