season. Mark Chapman last played T20I in 2021, but when the opportunity presented itself, the left-handed player made the most of it. Chapman, who entered third, was moving on 23 of 15 balls in the power playover, but he took off at middle over in the company of Darryl Mitchell. Chapman brought out 50 of 27 balls and slammed 33 of his last 17 balls to score a best 83 off just 44 balls. When Chapman was dismissed for 16 overs, New Zealand were 175/4 and looking for around 220 marks overall.
Neesham-Bracewell Attack
Jimmy Neesham and Michael Bracewell had other ideas, however. Niesham hit a 6 on the third ball he faced and Bracewell, who had already begun to rampage, scored 26 runs before Alasdair Evans made 50 on 22 balls for the first time in T20I. Fifteen more runs emerged from the final as New Zealand achieved an all-time T20I tally of 254. The Niesham-Bracewell stand of 79 from 28 balls is the fifth fastest in T20I history for a 25+ ball partnership. Spinners continue to haunt Scotland

Due to a misunderstanding, power play caused a runout and another wicket. Despite Chris Greaves making his promising 29-ball 37, Scottish innings didn’t gain enough momentum to threaten New Zealand’s huge sum.
