NZ 22-2 @ashley bach

Not for long as Will Young spanks Wellalage for a 6

 

[ashley bach]

Theekshana 2 0 10 1
Wellalage 2 0 10 1 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

More wickets lost (3) than boundaries hit (2) in the powerplay for NZ.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

SL's spinners are gonna choke the Kiwi batters

 

[ashley bach]

33-3 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[ashley bach]

Jeez this is a tough grind for NZ

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jeez this is a tough grind for NZ

These spinners did the same thing to our batters in the previous series here a fortnight ago.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

50 up. Moral victory for the Kiwis.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Now Phillips is trapped LBW by Wanindu for 13 (13) @ashley bach

Gonna be a short match

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Mitchell Hay, ay!

On debut, I am looking at his t20 stats and he's striking at 148. Big hitter

 

[ashley bach]

As long as Michael Bracewell is there hope remains @RossTaylorsBox

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hay with a duck on debut. Back to the farm

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Half of the overs done, 5 boundaries score-- 3x4 and 2x6...and half the side back in the shed.

 

[ashley bach]

This has not been good in the experimental department. Let's see what Clarkson can do with plenty of overs to play with. I doubt he'll do much tbh

 

[ashley bach]

5-67 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Clarkson goes. They're struggling against both pace and spin. Domination from SL.

 

[Prince EWS]

Santner ton coming up here.
