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

#2 Colin Munro gives adequate support to Guptill

With Guptill going bonkers from the very first delivery, Colin Munro acted as the anchor in the first few overs, before stepping up and combining with his opening partner to take the game away from the Aussies.

He had two boundaries in his first nine deliveries but soon took over the mantle from Guptill to unleash an array of boundaries himself. In the 11th over of the innings, he tore apart Andrew Tye, hitting him for a hat-trick of sixes. Such was his power that even the variations that were being tried by the bowler made no difference.

He ended with 76 in just 33 deliveries, with six sixes and six fours and could not finish off with yet another century as he ended up mistiming a fuller delivery to long-on.
