Finn Allen comes out all guns blazing to smack 42 off 16

Josh Hazlewood returns for his second over and castles Finn Allen with a yorker. It is a much-needed breakthrough which is sure to bring some respite to Australia. Allen’s entertaining innings ends on 42, during which he has revived memories of Brendon McCullum’s playing days. He has butchered all the Australian frontline pacers – Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.

The Powerplay is done and dusted and New Zealand are sitting pretty at 65/1, their highest powerplay score in a T20 World Cup match.
