First about the chase. Despite Samra’s ton, the target in front of New Zealand was perhaps under-par for an afternoon fixture in Chennai. Just two days ago, USA scored 199/6 batting first. In a similar fixture against UAE, New Zealand chased down 175 in the 16th over with all 10 wickets intact. A familiar script played out on Tuesday afternoon, even as Canada struck twice early. Finn Allen and Tim Seifert began in their typical style, getting to 29/0 in 2 overs.
