NZ vs PNG Live Cricket Score

1.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Tim Southee DRAWS FIRST BLOOD! Pitched up on off, a bit of away movement on this after pitching. Tony Ura looks to drag this towards the on side but gets an outside edge to the left of Glenn Phillips at point. Glenn Phillips runs sideways and takes a good catch. 3/1

4.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Fuller one angling across the batter, Assad Vala throws his bat at it with no footwork towards the line of it. Gets an outside edge straight to Daryl Mitchell at first slip. 14/2

11.2 OUT! LBW! Oh, that stayed quite low and there is a huge appeal for LBW but it is turned down. Lockie Ferguson bangs this one into the pitch and angles it back into the pads. Charles Amini hops to tuck but is beaten by the low bounce and gets thudded on the pads. There was also a run out chance as the ball rolled away to the off side and Glenn Phillips missed the direct hit with the batters stranded halfway down the pitch but Kane Williamson did take the review and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. The bowling change has worked right away for the Kiwis. 41/3

12.2 OUT! CAUGHT! One brings two and Papua New Guinea have lost both their set batters in a jiffy here. Mitchell Santner tosses this one up around middle and gives it a nice loop. Sese Bau dances down the track and looks to launch it over long on but mistimes it badly. The ball goes straight to Finn Allen who is well inside the ropes at long on and he takes a simple catch. 41/4

15.2 OUT! TIMBER! A wicket for Trent Boult in his final T20 World Cup game. Drags the length back a bit and gets the ball to angle back in quickly from around off and middle. Hiri Hiri backs away to play it square on the off side but is well beaten and the ball hits the top of the leg stump. Papua New Guinea are now 6 down! 56/6

13.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Three for none for Lockie Ferguson, unreal! Goes a bit wider on the crease and angles in a fuller delivery at 144.4 clicks onto the off stump. Chad Soper backs away and tentatively tries to play it away on the off side but gets a gentle inside edge and the ball smashes into the stumps. 43/5

16.3 OUT! BOWLED! Another one bites the dust! Tim Southee delivers this one on a hard length on the off stump line and gets the ball to jag back in off the deck. Kipling Doriga makes room and tries to smoke it across the line but is beaten all ends up and the ball castles into the leg stump, uprooting it from the ground as well. Papua New Guinea losing their way now. 61/7

18.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Back to around the wicket and Trent Boult picks up another wicket. Boult brings out the variety with the knuckleball and bangs it into the deck and angles it in at the batter. Norman Vanua hangs back and looks to make room and pull it away but gets hurried. The ball gets lobbed off the top edge and comes down at the mid-wicket region where Daryl Mitchell takes an easy catch. 76/8

19.4 OUT! CAUGHT! That's it, Ish Sodhi picks up another wicket and Papua New Guinea have been bowled out here. This is tossed up full on the middle stump line, Alei Nao tries to get under it and slog it over deep mid-wicket but the connection isn't there. The ball goes high towards wide long on where Daryl Mitchell settles under it and takes a good catch. Papua New Guinea are bundled out for 78 runs! 78/10

19.2 OUT! STUMPED! Tossed up full and outside off stump, it is the normal leggie that turns away from the right-hander. Kabua Morea steps down the pitch and misses the ball completely as Devon Conway whips off the bails and Sodhi picks up a wicket as well in the final over. 77/9

0.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a start from Kabua Morea! The umpires do go upstairs to check whether it carried or not. This is bowled on a good length and outside off stump, staying a bit low as well. Finn Allen doesn't move his feet and just throws his hands at it and ends up getting a cue end that goes down in front of the keeper. Kipling Doriga pouches it safely and the replays show that the ball did carry. Allen departs for a duck and Papua New Guinea will be very happy with that. 0/1

9.2 OUT! PLUMB! Good length angling into the batter on middle and leg. Devon Conway looks to play this late and run this fine towards the deep third region but misses. The ball sneaks past the bat and clatters onto the back pad. The umpire wastes no time and gives him his marching orders. Devon Conway asks for a review but all reds on the Ball Tracker confirm the on-field decision. 54/3

4.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Kabua Morea comes back into the attack and picks up a big wicket right away. Morea comes from over the stumps and angles in a fuller delivery into the pads. Rachin Ravindra comes down the pitch and lifts the back leg, looking to loft the ball over deep mid-wicket but doesn't get the timing at all. The ball goes to mid-wicket and Semo Kamea comes in from the deep to hang on to the catch with both hands. A shaky start from New Zealand so far. 20/2
