It is said that if anger arises, it should be channelized at the right place. And, it seems New Zealand's Tim Southee has tried to do the same against Uganda. The result of his effort is that New Zealand has registered its first victory in the tournament by achieving the target given by Uganda in just 32 balls.

Tim Southee has played an important role in this victory of the Kiwi team. Although we cannot say with certainty whether the havoc created by the ball on this mat is the result of his anger or not. But, it is definitely true that he has been reprimanded by the ICC before this match. And, after reprimanding, anger remains inside.

However, after winning the toss, New Zealand decided to field first. This means that Uganda batted. New Zealand's decision to bowl first seemed to pay off. Uganda lost 2 wickets in the first over itself.

While half the team was in the dugout before they could reach 15 runs. Trent Boult, Mitchell Santner and especially Tim Southee weaved such a web of their balls that the Ugandan batsmen got stuck in it. The result was that the entire team could not score more than 40 runs. This is the lowest total of any team against New Zealand in Men's T20I

Bowlers who restricted Uganda to 40 runs

The New Zealand bowler who played the most important role in restricting Uganda to 40 runs was Tim Southee, who took 3 wickets for just 4 runs in 4 overs and also bowled 1 maiden. Apart from him, Trent Bolt took 2 wickets for 7 runs in 4 overs while Santner took 2 wickets for 8 runs in 3.4 overs.

New Zealand beat Uganda and broke 17 year old record

Now New Zealand had a modest target of 41 runs, which it achieved in 5.2 overs i.e. in just 32 balls, losing 1 wicket. New Zealand won the match by 9 wickets with 88 balls remaining. This is New Zealand's biggest win in Men's T20I in terms of the number of balls remaining. Earlier, its record was of 74 balls, which it had made 17 years ago i.e. in the 2007 T20 World Cup against Kenya.
