Trans-Tasman T20 Tri-Series 2018: England vs New Zealand- 6th match, 5 talking points

#3 The Kiwi openers begin with a bang, again!

Fresh from the onslaught in their last game again Australia, the New Zealand openers Martin Guptill and Colin Munro, once again began on a threatening note.

Munro was the aggressor first up, scoring 57 of the 78 runs for the first wicket. He raced to his 50 in just 18 deliveries, which is the third time in his international career that he has made a 50 in 18 balls or lesser. With 7 massive sixes and 3 fours, he set the stage for yet another high-score chase.

Guptill played the role of a sheet anchor to perfection, upping the ante when Kane Williamson at the other end failed to get going. He made 62 in 47 with three fours and four sixes.
