England chasing 193 to win 2nd T-20

HAMILTON: New Zealand have set 193 runs for England to win the 2nd T-20 at the Seddon Park, Hamilton.

NZ started off pretty well as both the openers scored at a brisk pace reaching 47 in the first 5 overs.

M.Guptil scored 47 of 31 balls (4x4s and 2x6s) while his opening partner H. Rutherford got 40 of 27 balls (1x4 3x6s)

Skipper B.McCullum continued the good work and kept up the scoring rate. He finished with 74 of 38 balls (6x4s 5x6s).

English bowler J.Dernbach though a bit expensive accounted for three NZ wickets. L.Wright once again bowled well to pick up 2-24 in his 4 tight overs.

NZ need to defend this total to stay in the series.
