SCO vs NZ Highlights: Mark Chapman & Michael Bracewell POWERS NewZealand to Resister 102 Run victory over Scotland, Seals Series 2-0- Follow LIVE Updates
Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell both enjoyed career-best scores at this level on Friday, making 83 and 61 not out respectively in a total of 254-5. Chapman’s 44-ball knock featured seven sixes, the first getting him off the mark, while Bracewell faced 25 balls for his runs. The 28-year-old Chapman’s innings was all the more creditable as it was his first professional knock since mid-April.
“It’s just the nature of international cricket,” Chapman told the ESPNCricinfo website. “It took a bit to get going, but once you get one out of the middle of the bat, things come back pretty quickly. “We’ve been talking about taking the game on, and being really positive in the way we play. It came off today, and the boys are pretty happy.”
Scotland never looked like chasing down a huge target and in the end did well to avoid being bowled out as they finished on 152-9. Chris Greaves top-scored with 37, while New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham took two wickets in an over and spinner Michael Rippon 2-37.

On Wednesday, New Zealand secured a comfortable 68-run victory with to excellent century from Finn Allen and Ish Sodhi’s four-wicket haul. Allen’s first T20I century helped the Kiwis reach 225. In response, Ish Sodhi claimed four wickets, limiting the hosts’ innings score to only 157.
Scotland, who needed to score 226 to win, got off to a slow start as George Munsey and Calum MacLeod had trouble getting going. Before the spinners delivered the goods for the Kiwis, the pair did put up 62 for the opening wicket. The Scotland batters quickly went from 62/0 to 88/5 as Ish Sodhi spun a web around them. After Scotland eventually reached 157, the rest of the batting struggled to contribute much, giving New Zealand a 68-run victory.
Earlier in the day, as the Kiwis put up a huge 225 on the board, Finn Allen hit his first T20I century. For the first wicket, Martin Guptill and Allen put up 85 runs, with the former becoming the leading scorer in T20 internationals. Allen resumed his charge after Guptill’s wicket to reach his tonne in style.
James Neesham, Daryl Mitchell, and Glenn Phillips all had significant cameos to aid the Kiwis in putting on a victorious performance.
