5 memorable moments from the England-New Zealand semis that don't fade away

Jason Roy got England off to a flier

A total of 154 against New Zealand is not as easy as it seems. Despite today’s mauling, it can’t be denied that New Zealand’s bowling line up is the best for T20Is —something they showed in this tournament.

The New Zealand fans placed a lot of hope on their two revelations: Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi. And they were the only ones who could do something about England’s fury—the wrath that was started by none other than Jason Roy.

Jason Roy played in such a way that the Kiwi bowlers didn’t know what hit them. Roy knew that they couldn't let the opposition bowlers settle down and hence he didn’t wait for bad balls—he made the balls bad.

In an innings that lasted 44 balls, he scored 78 runs while hitting 11 fours and 2 sixes to ensure England had a chance to become the first team to win two World T20 titles.
