NZ vs Aus 1st T20 Live: New Zealand pacers dominate as visitors crumble; AUS go 7 down – follow for LIVE Updates- Australia has made a shambolic start to their chase losing half their side before 100. Can the visitors find a way back?
The visitors suffered early setback losing Finch and Josh Phillipe cheaply. For the Kiwis, Southee and Boult got the wickets respectively.
Boult continued his sublime spell with a peach of a delivery to send Wade back to the hut as well.
Earlier, New Zealand made a shaky start after loss of early wickets. Talismanic batsman and skipper Kane Williamson also failed to make as Australian bowlers domina
While it looked at one point the Australian bowling attack would decimate the Kiwis, Conway and Phillips played a crucial 74 runs partnership. The fightback was then single-handedly led by Conway who narrowly missed out on a century, finishing with 99 off 59 balls and propelled New Zealand to 184/5 after 20 overs. Australia need 185 to win.

OUT! Sodhi gets his first in his first over and Australia in all sorts of trouble here. Half the side back in the hut and they still need another 129 runs now. Short but this one is closer to the off pole. Stoinis looks to flat-bat is straight down the ground but he hits it on the up and straight to Ish Sodhi. The leggie shows great reflex and takes a good catch off his own bowling.

OUT! Boult gets his first and the debutant, Philippe goes back after scoring just 2 runs and it’s Conway again with the catch.

OUT! Finch is a gone and Southee picks up an early wicket. It is Conway, who takes the catch and there is no way that you can keep him out of the game. Tim bowls a length ball outside off this time, Finch looks to slash this one through point but does not time it well and hits it uppishly too. Devon Conway moves to his right and takes a good catch.

Our number one focus is to try and win the series. We are coming up against a great New Zealand side, quite experienced,” cricket.com.au quoted Finch as saying.
“You have got captain Kane Williamson leading the side with Martin Guptill at the top of the order who is a great white-ball player for New Zealand. Then you have got the experience of (pacemen Trent) Boult and (Tim) Southee, (spinners Mitch) Santner and (Ish) Sodhi, Jimmy Neesham as well. It is a very settled, experienced side and we are going to have to be at our best to win,” he added.
Australia’s Top 3 for the 1st T20: Finch has already stated that he will bat in the top three along with Matthew Wade and Josh Philippe. All-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis will bat at four and five respectively.
“Josh Philippe, we have seen how dynamic he is and the form he has been in throughout the Big Bash, so really excited for him to get an opportunity at some point throughout this series,” said Finch.
