ICC World 20-20, NZ vs ENG, Super 8: New Zealand beat England by 5 runs
Sep 18, 2007
New Zealand edged past England by a mere five runs in a nail-biting encounter in the super eight stage of the ICC Twenty20 World Cup in Durban on Tuesday.
Despite a shaky start, the Kiwis had recovered to post a competitive 164 for nine, with significant contributions by Scott Styris (42) and Craig McMillan (57).
In response, England got off to a solid start but faltered as the New Zealand bowlers continued to build pressure and pick wickets consistently. The English innings eventually finished at 159 for eight after 20 overs with Stuart Broad and CP Schofield at the wicket.
McMillan was adjudged man of the match for his blistering innings, which included three boundaries and four huge sixes.
