Trans-Tasman Trophy, 4th T20I: New Zealand vs England - Things which went wrong for the visitors

#1 Martin Guptill-Kane Williamson partnership

New Zealand were put in to bat by Jos Buttler and the hosts lost Colin Munro early, but Martin Guptill and captain Williamson blazed half-centuries to the Kiwis to a position of strength.

Opener Guptill raced to 65 off 40 balls while Williamson, whose spot was under pressure after several ineffectual knocks in T20Is, accelerated late in his 72 off 46.

After the experienced duo's 82-run 2nd-wicket stand that powered New Zealand to 131 inside 14 overs, newcomers Mark Chapman (20) and Tim Seifert (14 not out) provided the late fireworks on their international debuts as New Zealand posted a handsome total of 196/5 in 20 overs.
