The New Zealand innings was thrown into the deep by some disciplined fast bowling, Fernando with his pace troubling the batsmen at will. In the first seven balls, they had lost both their openers, Astle (2) and Sinclair (1). Stephen Fleming (21) and McMillan (20) fell to the pace of Fernando. Lou Vincent (25) and Chris Harris (48) tried their best to make a match out of it. Adam Parore stood strong and made an unbeaten 51, the top score in the Kiwi innings. New Zealand was never in the chase after being reduced to 100/5 in the 23rd over.
