The big player Kane is back to score runs.

New Zealand came up with a perfect all-rounder performance to defeat Iris and further improve their chances of making it to the semi-finals. Skipper Kane 1st played a 61-run knock to help NZ post 185/6 in 20 overs and then the bowlers took wickets in quick succession to derail Ireland’s chase. Ireland pacer Joshua Little also took a hat-trick in the 19th over of Black Caps innings. Black Caps are now in top position on net run rate in Group A.
