England vs New Zealand, 49th Match, Super 8 Group 2 (Y1 v Y2), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Rachin Ravindra to Tom Banton, out Caught by Mark Chapman!! That's the wicket New Zealand needed. Rachin Ravindra roars. It's a bad ball, slower and short outside off, turns away, made Tom Banton reach for it, no pace on the ball, also these are not small boundaries, Banton cannot get the power behind the pull, finds the safe hands of deep mid-wicket. Chapman takes it. Now it's New Zealand's game to lose from here despite England having batting left. Tom Banton c Mark Chapman b Rachin Ravindra 33(24) [4s-3 6s-1]

Ish Sodhi to Tom Banton, SIX, one of the shots of the game. Look at that from Tom Banton. He comes down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball, lofts with a high-elbow, over extra-cover and it flies off the meat of the bat, all the way. Looks so good when you play shots like that
