Coulter-Nile at 11….. No question the deepest and strongest Batting line up in the Tournament … #AUSvNZ #ICCWT20

Watson is the flour of cricket. His bowling consistently stodges things up. Excellent spell today, as so often. #AUSvNZ

martin guptill went unsold at IPL auction- apparently not suited for indian conditions #AUSvNZ #WT20 #espnmatchday

Ish Sodhi is a real find for New Zealand. India could do with a leggie of this quality…#WT20

As well as Australia have bowled, they'll be acutely aware that New Zealand still outnumber them two Mitches to one. #AdvantageNewZealand

You just have to admire how Australia have pulled this back. But as India know, New Zealand make decent targets look rather big

Well played Kiwi's!!! Tough unit with a very balanced team. Australia cannot go into matches with 7 bowlers.. #ICCWT20 #austvnz

Australia should've known Santner will be dangerous. His first name is Mitchell. #WT20 #AUSvsNZ

Great captaincy in the field by Kane Williamson but his leadership hv to extend into his team's batting plan #changeapproach #newfavourites

I always find these low scoring games like nz vs aus more interesting than when teams chase 200 in t20. More skill and temperament involved
