New Zealand vs Australia

New Zealand continued to excel in the ICC T20 Word Cup 2016 as they registered their second win in the tournament by defeating Australia in a Group 2 clash on 18 March. It was a fine bowling display after the powerplay that helped the Black Caps seal an eight-run victory over their neighbours.

Despite having a strong batting lineup, Australia lost wickets in quick succession, which led to their defeat to Kane Williamson's side. Usman Khawaja was the only star player with the bat, along with Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh.

IBTimes UK has complied some Twitter reactions after New Zealand's victory over Australia in their Group 2 fixture.

Whoever in the #Aus set-up is responsible for Adam Zampa bowling only one over (for 3 runs ffs!) should be forced to walk home. #WT20
