New Zealand thumped Australia to clinch their second consecutive win in ICC World T20 2016. New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first and after a decent start, the Kiwi batsmen lost momentum and were left tottering at 117 for 5. They eventually ended their innings at 142 at the cost of 8 wickets. In reply, Australia too didn’t look comfortable and kept losing wickets at equal intervals. The Kangaroos ended their allotted 20 overs at 134/9 to face a defeat at the hands of their neighbors by 8 runs. The experts and pundits of the game have reacted on this very encounter.

Well done NZ on a fantastic win over Australia. Dream ball by Santner to get @stevesmith49. Khawaja run-out was the turning point. #AKLive
