Match Preview
After the first T20I was washed out, England absolutely smashed the Kiwi batsmen all over Hagley Oval in the second match, posting a huge total of 236/4 after batting first. Phil Salt was superb, scoring 85 runs off 56 balls, including 5 fours and a six, and his captain Harry Brook followed up with a brilliant, aggressive knock of 78 off just 35 balls, hitting 8 fours and 5 sixes. Tom Banton added the finishing touches with a quick cameo of 29 runs from 12 balls.
New Zealand started their chase well, with Tim Seifert scoring 39 runs from 29 balls, but they lost the wickets of Ravindra and Robinson early. Mark Chapman struggled a bit, scoring 28 off 24 balls, while skipper Mitchell Santner hit a late, blazing 36 off 15 balls.
However, it was too late, as the Kiwis crumbled and were bowled out for 171 in 18 overs. Adil Rashid was the standout bowler with excellent figures of 4/32, well supported by Luke Wood, Liam Dawson, and Brydon Carse, who all picked up two wickets each.
