Opener Martin Guptill and Mark Chapman put on a partnership of 109 runs in 77 balls for the second wicket after early loss of Daryl Mitchell 0 runs (1 ball).

Mohammed Siraj (39/1 off 4 overs) and Deepak Chahar (42/1 off 4 overs) were the other wicket-takers for Kiwi team.
New Zealand were the runner-up at the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup held in UAE, where they lost in the final to Australia.
