Chasing the target of 180 runs, the New Zealand team scored 159 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Glenn Phillips scored 62, Kane Williamson scored 40 runs, this is New Zealand‘s first defeat in the event. Woakes and Curran were charged with bowling the death overs, and the former had Mitchell (3) caught on the long on rope by Chris Jordan — on for Livingstone — in a 17th over that went for 1-3. However, the big wicket came the following over when Phillips holed out to Jordan for a superb 62 off just 36 balls — leaving New Zealand’s final pairing of Ish Sodhi and Santner with an ultimately unassailable equation of 45 runs from 15 balls.
