Prior to Duffy's triple wicket over, they were 120/0 needing 53 from 42 and Santner (our best bowler to that point) had just bowled his last over. There really should have been no way back.
The beauty of T20 cricket.

A real game of 4 quarters with Black Caps winning quarters 2 and 4.
Incredible that Sri Lanka weren't able to go on with it after being in such a dominant position after 3 quarters.
Foulkes looks like he could be a handy death bowling option.
Yep Foulkes specialisies in bowling at the death.He has come over to Brisbane for the last 2 years and played in the 20/20 Club Competition bowling at the death he has gone pretty well.
Normally the Australian players are playing in part of that comp. -
Need to pick Max Chu as keeper instead of Hay. He has been doing superbly in Plunket Shield this summer and got 82 in the Super Smash on Friday. Has another game this arvo.

@four-more-years Hasn't Hay been a consistently good performer at domestic level and is excellent with the gloves? Hay deserves a decent chance first.

I agree, but so has Chu. Should've given one of them the ODIs and the other the T20s. It will be an interesting battle to see which one succeeds Blundell for the test job.

Yeah 100% Hay is a better WK and has been good with the bat he made 49 in the last ODI in Sri Lanka.
Hay is a better WK than Blundell he was very tidy last night behind the stumps 3 catches including a 30 metre run to grab one of them. -

I am surprised that Chu hasn't been given an opportunity.
And given that Stead is on yet another "holiday" there should be a separate coach for the T20I team at least.
I am not surprised his WK has some faults.

Ravindra fails again opening. Why is he opening?

I’m not allowed to comment. @KiwiMurph said so

A swap with Phillips would be a good idea, probably not going to see it for a long time though.

I can only assume they want a L-R combination. Jacobs must play in Nelson.

Does Jacob’s open?

In all seriousness does it matter THAT much in 20/20 ? Astle and Ryder batted middle order in test cricket and opened in shorter forms. Surely it’s not that much of a stretch for a capable batsman.
