New Zealand have narrow escape!
Unlike England, New Zealand escaped with a narrow win against Scotland. This game showed us why Twenty20 is probably the best bet for minnows. It’s the only format where they have high chances of upstaging better teams.
Now this one was not even twenty over match. It was reduced to seven due to rain. ICC plans its tours and mega events with such a detail. They must be credited for planning this event in this time in England.
Scots made use of the reduced match to hit out to score 89 of allotted seven overs. It would have been interesting to see how New Zealand would have coped without the start that they got. One good over at the start would have changed it all.
Brendon McCullum, put all his failures in IPL and went berserk. Ryder and Taylor followed the suit. New Zealand were home with an over to spare. They also spared themselves of horrid times that England are facing.
Scotland did not field well. Had they taken Oram’s catch and stopped few boundaries, they would have been taken a big scalp. They will win a match once in a while. For that they got to take their chances
