Trans-Tasman Trophy, 5th T20I: New Zealand vs Australia - Things which went wrong for the hosts

#2 Bowlers being too expensive

Although Ben Wheeler had a horrendous day in the office, in his 3.1 overs, he remained wicketless and conceded 64 runs at a mind-boggling economy of 20.21, rest of the New Zealand bowlers were looted for a lot of runs as well.

Trent Boult gave away 42 runs in 3.5 overs and claimed a wicket, Tim Southee went for 48 runs in 4 overs with a wicket to his name, while Colin de Grandhomme accounted for 56 runs in his 3.5 overs and removed one Aussie batsman.

Ish Sodhi, with an economy of 8.75, 35 runs in 4 overs, was the most economical New Zealand bowler as Australia chased down a colossal 244 with 7 balls remaining.
