Most of the Kiwi batsman got a start and were looking good for a big score. Both the openers had reached the double figures and had faced a decent amount of deliveries but both of them failed to capitalize on the start. Guptill went for big one whereas Munro played a completely unorthodox shot to lose his wicket.

Kane Williamson was also looking good as he smashed two sixes and a four off the Shami over in which he eventually got out. Same was the case with Taylor and Latham. Both of them had got to a good score and should have carried on to make a big score.

Taylor and Latham form the backbone of the middle-order and when they got out it looked almost impossible for NZ to win the game.

Nicholas had the same story as he too got out in the 20s. Bracewell was the only batsman who scored a fifty for his team.
