Updated：New Zealand won by 10 wickets (with 28 balls remaining).

New Zealand made it two wins in two at the T20 World Cup with a ruthless, record breaking chase in Chennai, powered entirely by Tim Seifert and Finn Allen. The pair stitched together an unbeaten 175 run stand, the highest partnership for any wicket in T20 World Cup history, as they hunted down 174 in just 15.2 overs.

At the heart of it was Seifert’s dominant display. He surged to 89 not out, racing to a 23 ball fifty and dictating tempo from the outset, ensuring New Zealand were always ahead of the asking rate. Allen matched him stroke for stroke with 84 not out, but it was Seifert’s ability to shift gears and manipulate angles that kept the pressure relentless. Their contrasting methods created constant problems for UAE, and the chase never drifted into uncertainty. With this emphatic victory, New Zealand have not only strengthened their position in the group but also signaled that their opening pair can dictate terms against any attack on their day.
