Trans-Tasman Trophy, 6th T20I: New Zealand vs England - Things which went wrong for the hosts

#3 Bowlers being too expensive

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bowl first. Tim Southee and Trent Boult removed dangerous Jason Roy (21) and Alex Hales (1) early,

Dawid Malan (53) and skipper Eoin Morgan's (80*) 93-run 3rd-wicket stand powered England to 117 inside 13 overs.

The duo took all the Kiwi bowlers to the cleaners and laid a solid foundation for a huge score.

Although Boult claimed 3 wickets, he was looted for 50 runs in his 4 overs at an economy of 12.50.

Mitchell Santner went for 32 runs in his 2 overs and remained wicketless.

Southee was the only bowler to concede less than 6 runs an over as he gave away 22 runs in his 4 overs and claimed 2 wickets.
