Chasing 167 runs target, New Zealand had one of the worst starts and were lagging behind in most part of the run chase. However, New Zealand opener Daryl Mitchell played a match-winning knock of 72* off 47 deliveries and guided his side over the line successfully by batting throughout the innings.
And, this reminded former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull of something MS Dhoni had said to him about finishing the game. While doing commentary in the match, Doull found a resemblance in Daryl Mitchell’s knock to what MS Dhoni has once said to him. Doull said the following during the live match –
“The great MS Dhoni, the great finisher… once said to me that the longer you bat and the deeper you take the game, the more worried is the opposition and its bowler. That has what Daryl Mitchell has done here tonight. He saw the first two New Zealand wickets go down cheaply but ensured he batted through, and here is… taking his team closer to a place in the final,” said Doull.
