As soon as Daryll Mitchell hit the winning runs, the Kiwi dugout broke into celebration with only one man sitting idle as nothing as happened. That man happens to be all-rounder James Neesham.

Captain, Kane Williamson at the post-match presentation was in praise of James Neesham’s match-changing cameo, including taking 23 off Chris Jordan in the 17th over.
“He came out and hit the ball hard. It’s what he does. It was a really valuable knock for us. It changed the momentum of the game. There was clever hitting at the end which decided the outcome of the game,” Williamson said.
