New Delhi: In the first match of the Super 12 round of the T20 World Cup 2022, New Zealand surprised the defending champion Australia and defeated them by 89 runs.

Chasing 201 runs to win, Australia did not have a good start and David Warner (5) was dismissed cheaply. And once Warner got out, the process of falling wickets started at regular intervals. With the fall of every wicket, the pressure of the required run average continued to increase.

Glenn Maxwell (28) in the middle and Pat Cummins (21) in the lower order scored runs, but the burden of runs was so high that the Kangaroo batsmen got wind of the wind. And the entire team could only score 111 runs in 17.1 overs. Southee and Santner took three wickets each and Boult took two wickets. At the same time, Ferguson and Sodhi got one wicket each.

Earlier, batting first against Australia, they have scored a gigantic score of 200 runs at the loss of 3 wickets. For New Zealand, Devon Conway scored a brilliant 98 off 58 balls.
