We lose by 21 runs as Rashid is bowled. Which is a shame because we would have made history had he been caught as we would have been the first side in the history of T20 Internationals to have had all 10 batsmen out that way.
NZ held 9/9 catches. We dropped at least 4. Had we held those we would have won.
Never understood why MOM has to be someone from the winning side. Santner gets it for figures of 4-0-25-3 and a duck with the bat whereas Jordan returned 4-0-23-3 (plus had a drop off his bowling) and hit 36 off 19 balls.

Can never understand that either. It would have to take an outstanding performance for that to happen. I wonder how many times it has happened?
Just watched the highlights. The usual Englnad batting collapse. Some good innings from Vince(again) and Malan whilst not taking us over the line(again) from 140-2 to 149-7?. Virtually all the wickets were given away, Banton doing a scoop that he missed,Malan,Morgan and Vince all hitting straight down fielders throats, and Billings running himself out.So thats your top 5 gone for you. Once that has happened, and you've only got the sixth formers coming in after with Sam Curran at 6 (who also scooped it straight it to the fielder), then you are always going to struggle regardless of what position you are in.
Not sure where else to post it, but I see Malan has left Middlesex to join Yorkshire. A sign of their struggles, when Middlesex are losing players to other clubs
