The super 12 round of the T20 World Cup 2022 has begun as Australia is currently hosting New Zealand in the 1st match of the day.
Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to bowl first. But, New Zealand’s opening batsman Finn Allen gave New Zealand a flying start.
The Kiwi opener took it to the Aussie bowlers from the word get go. He played fearless cricket in his short stint on the crease as he scored 42 runs in 16 balls before giving away his wicket to Josh Hazlewood.
Meanwhile, Allen’s brilliant has created a huge buzz on social media and several Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans criticised RCB management for wasting Allen in the IPL, while some are hopeful for him in IPL 2023.
A quality innings from Finn Allen ends – 42 in just 16 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes. Fantastic batting in the powerplay by Allen, Josh Hazlewood ends his stay. pic.twitter.com/3tO6Lwte3x
