9.55 pm Run chases rarely get any better than that. Guptill was muscular as always, Williamson precise. And they just did it with so much ease. The series is level at 1-1 with the decider in Wellington on Friday.
KaneBunce: "To bounce back from such a big loss and to set the world recoird for highest T20 partnership and win so convincingly shows the quality of the Black Caps."
Mukesh: "Can't imagine any other batsman in the world who can have a strike rate of 150+ without hitting a single six. You beauty!" He's talking about the Kane Train.
Ozair: "Oh NZ, you nailed it! What is it with you guys, are you in a record-breaking mode this year? Keep going as this is a total entertainment and well deserved one. George, you gotta publish this, okay?" Okay!
Emad: "Kane Train > Guldozer"
Sohan Pandey: "Binoy Sir, Which channel telecasting this match in India ??" No one, follow it here!
Afridi says his team did not bowl with enough variations and gives Guptill and Williamson due credit. "Four days is too much," he says about the break before the third game. Classic.
Williamson: "We made the improvements from the last game, bowling effort was good considering the size of the ground ... we wanted to mix it up (about Santner and Anderson opening the bowling) ..."
Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill are sharing the Man of the Match award for putting on a world record stand in T20 internationals. "He had the power today!" says Guptill when asked about their contrasting styles.
Thank you for all your emails today, and thank you for reading! Cheers.
