"Xavier Bartlett will close it out. His first over went for 15. Can he find his line and arrest this momentum swing. He gets Jacob swinging and missing early. Bartlett hasd the powerful build of the allround athlete he is, having been born to a South Australian state AFL player and won plenty of swimming medals as a backstroker in his youth. He's slinging them at 130kph today and keeps the Kiwis in check with a seven-run over."
"Unsurprisingly, Zampa remains in the attack for what will be his final over. And he almost has Robinson bowled AND/ OR stumped as an attempted charge goes horribly wrong. Instead of smashing it out of the ground, the batter air-swings and the ball skims the bails and eludes Alex Carey's gloves, running away for a bye. That's it for Zamps. He finishes with 0-27."
New Zealand reached 136-4 after 16 overs with Robinson on 74 and Jacobs contributing in the middle. Xavier Bartlett closed the 16th over, bowling around 130kph and conceding seven runs while keeping the scoring in check. Adam Zampa bowled his final over and nearly had Robinson out, finishing with figures of 0-27. Dwarshuis earlier threatened a hat-trick after dismissing Conway and Chapman. Travis Head dropped a two-handed diving chance from Jacobs at gully, spilling the catch as he landed on his elbows. Mitch Marsh brought back Stoinis but conceded wides and easy runs before Bevon Jacobs struck.
