New Zealand opener Finn Allen started off well and showed the classical example of how to utilise the power-play overs. The opening Kiwi batsmen were able to hit three fours in their second over, leading to a total of 29 runs in just two overs.

Pat Cummins was called in as the third choice for skipper Finch and he too failed to bowl a significant spell for the host’s side. Pat Cummins conceded 17 runs in the third over of the first innings as the Kiwis near to a quick 50-run partnership.
