New Zealand vs Canada, 31st Match, Group D, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Dilon Heyliger to Finn Allen, out Caught by Shivam Sharma!! Shivam has made up for his boundary miss in Heyliger's previous over. He's taken a stunner. Both New Zealand openers back in the dugout. Canada are cock-a-hoop. Back of a length delivery, stops a bit and Allen closes the bat face early as he attempts to tuck it to the leg-side, the leading edge lobs to cover and Shivam comes in. The ball was dying on him but he bends down and scoops it before it hits the ground. Allen stood his ground, there was a check by the third umpire and the decision went in favour of Canada. Finn Allen c Shivam Sharma b Dilon Heyliger 21(8) [4s-2 6s-1]

Saad Bin Zafar to Finn Allen, leg byes, 1 run, sliding down leg, Allen misses the flick and the ball deflects off the pad

Dilon Heyliger to Finn Allen, 1 run, good length ball at the stumps, Allen defends to mid-on and crosses over

Dilon Heyliger to Finn Allen, SIX, where's that gone? Full delivery on leg, right in the slot and Allen does not miss out, uses his bottom hand and whips it towards deep square leg. He gets plenty of height and the distance

Dilon Heyliger to Finn Allen, FOUR, unlucky! On a length and outside off, Allen looks to force it through the off-side and toe-ends it towards third man. The fielder was at deep backward point and he had no chance to get around

Jaskaran Singh to Finn Allen, 1 run, short of length delivery, Allen knocks it to mid-off and quickly crosses over

Jaskaran Singh to Finn Allen, no ball, 5 runs, oh no! That's sloppy all around. Allen turns it to mid-wicket and sets off. The fielder swoops down and has a shy at the non-striker's end. Allen was well in but the backing up wasn't good - the fielder dives over the ball and allows it to escape past him. Skipper Bajwa chases but the ball beats him to the fence. To make matters worse, Jaskaran has overstepped.. Free-hit coming up

Jaskaran Singh to Finn Allen, wide, bit of swing for Jaskaran. Sprays it outside off and the ball keeps going wider, no chance for Allen to reach that

Jaskaran Singh to Finn Allen, FOUR, Allen up and running with a boundary. A help-me delivery and Allen does not miss out - back of a length around the hips, flicked behind square and short fine is beaten comfortably
