Apart from Ross Taylor's match-changing slip catch of Eoin Morgan and 68 from Brendon McCullum, New Zealand was able to rely on three younger players to win the first Twenty20 international match against England at the Oval.
Man-of-the-match Hamish Rutherford's 62 off 35 balls, Corey Anderson's successful death over where he 'only' conceded 11 and Tom Latham's work with the gloves and bat helped secure a five-run win.
Rutherford was brutal dispatching boundaries between mid-wicket and backward square leg, be it slog-sweeping or drop-kicking balls off his pads.
"At the start didn't feel like a 200 run wicket," McCullum said. "Then Hamish played a few shots and that [confidence] permeated through the order."
According to McCullum, Latham took the gloves "because it was an opportunity for him in a pressure situation against a good team in front of a big crowd". After missing a stumping off Alex Hales at the start of the ninth over, he bounced back with the catch of key batsman Luke Wright on 52 off 34 balls. He continued by running out Jos Buttler with an underarm throw to the non-striker's end from a gloved right hand. Earlier he made 22 off 17 balls.
