00:00New Zealand have had a full squad to pick from.
00:03Garging now straight up. Can anyone get close to this?
00:07There's three on the go, three on the go, and they collide.
00:10Interesting, put it that way.
00:12Looking to invent, and that's more like it.
00:15Meissan's still on.
00:17Is that predictability of the length maybe slightly fuller on this occasion?
00:21Use those smaller boundaries behind the batters.
00:27Maybe harder to shrug that one off, though.
00:32New Zealand finally get the breakthrough.
00:36Needed to break this partnership.
00:38Having nightmares of the previous time.
00:41Based in Afghanistan in the World Cup in 24.
00:46Started the wicket, let over with the wicket.
00:49Just drifts back in and then picks up a little bit of the inside edge.
00:54Come undone.
00:56Hello.
00:57Something that spinners do, they have their wide along on, just not wide enough on this occasion.
01:04Not there.
01:05That is clean and straight as you like.
01:10Lovely wrist work.
01:13And, yep.
01:16Hello.
01:19Yes, sitting in the wicket from Jimmy Nishim.
01:22Great strong shot.
01:29There goes Gulbadeen.
01:34Half century to Gulbadeen.
01:37Has been beautifully constructed.
01:43Cracker.
01:45Ball that's a little bit wider and shorter.
01:49Just unable to really track that at all.
01:55Reap the rewards of that, but this is huge!
01:58With Ferguson, because they may have seen some footage of Rasooli up against the West Indies,
02:03where he was so strong and anything full.
02:08Pose for the pictures.
02:14Gritted with a stunning shot.
02:18Right, this has gone up.
02:20Keeper says, mine.
02:22And hangs for a touch.
02:24He's just dragged his length back.
02:25Just a touch.
02:26Maybe even a slightly wider.
02:28Gulbadeen recognising that the 18th.
02:31Wanting to take it on.
02:34There we go.
02:48Henry going short into the wicket here.
02:54What an incredible way!
02:58He takes the freedom of swinging the bat away.
03:04Oh, that's magnificent.
03:06This allows him to throw his arms at it.
03:14That is a very good comeback from Ferguson.
03:17Hit for six first ball.
03:19They want the second run.
03:21Don't think it's going to count in the end.
03:23We weren't sure what the surface was going to offer,
03:25but Gulbadeen Naive was brilliant.
03:31Should be out.
03:33Oh, wow.
03:35He had just gone over to Faruqi
03:37and had a chat to him.
03:40That's a good hit.
03:43It's a Superman dive.
03:45You just feel it.
03:49This time, this will race away down to third man
03:52for four more back-to-back.
03:53Short on that occasion.
03:57Oh, smashes that wide of Rashid Khan.
03:59No danger of being caught there.
04:03Boom, Ben Allen.
04:05Skidded on through.
04:06Bowling with the new ball.
04:08Subtle variations in pace.
04:10Subtle variations in turn.
04:13For New Zealand now.
04:14Oh, wow.
04:19Must be played from Seifert.
04:21We'll get back for two,
04:23if not four, they'll get four.
04:28Beautifully played.
04:33Just far enough in front of Midwaget to go for four.
04:39Oh, that's gone over long on.
04:41And that has gone the whole way.
04:44That's knowing your opponent.
04:46He always knew that if you miss full,
04:48I'm going to hit you back down the ground.
04:52It's exactly the kind of delivery.
04:58He's been in just superb form.
05:02Confidence is showing.
05:04Already in the sinnings.
05:06Tough cricket.
05:07These two.
05:08Oh, no, he's chopped it on.
05:10He picked up four against New Zealand and Gayana in 2024.
05:17Oh, hammered.
05:18Hammered straight down the ground.
05:23Oh, has he?
05:24Has he?
05:25No.
05:29Swings that away all the way as well.
05:32First T20 World Cup half century for him.
05:38Goes again and gets plenty of this as well.
05:45Offside for four.
05:50Chance this time.
05:52Six, six, four and out.
05:57It looked uncomfortable to try and actually lift that up and over the top for six.
06:03Right away with a reverse sweep.
06:06Picks up four.
06:10Well, he's dished up.
06:12Another variation.
06:13He's got this floaty offspin.
06:16It comes out.
06:20Clever.
06:21Very smart from Chapman.
06:26Straight to cover.
06:2828 of 26.
06:29They need wickets.
06:30Now losing their fifth wicket.
06:32An easy catch.
06:36Over the top of cover.
06:37And that'll break the shackles for New Zealand.
06:39It'll just get there.
06:43Straight down the ground.
06:49Lovely shot.
06:50Really nicely played from Santner.
06:54Loose delivery.
06:56A waist-eye full toss.
06:57And Mitchell says,
06:58Thank you very much.
07:00Yeah, what a knock.
07:01Fantastic by New Zealand.
07:02Rocked early with the loss of those two wickets.
07:05We'll see you next time.
07:05We'll see you next time.
07:05We'll see you next time.
07:05We'll see you next time.
