New Zealand accomplished its comeback from 2-0 right down to tie the Twenty20 sequence towards England by successful the fourth and closing match by six wickets on Tuesday.

Set a victory goal of 176 at Trent Bridge, the New Zealanders had a 32-ball 48 from opener Tim Seifert earlier than Glenn Phillips accelerated the center a part of the chase with 42 off 25 balls.

Mark Chapman (40 not out off 25) noticed the vacationers over the road with 16 balls left to cap a pointy turnaround within the sequence that England began so effectively with heavy wins in Durham and Manchester.

New Zealand hammered England by 74 runs in Birmingham on Sunday to remain alive within the sequence and dominated the fourth match after dismissing Jonny Bairstow (73 off 41 runs, together with six sixes), who gave England a quick begin.

From 105-1 early within the eleventh over, England misplaced momentum following the elimination of Bairstow and sputtered to 175-8, which all the time felt too little on a floor recognized for producing massive totals.

The groups now meet in a four-match one-day worldwide sequence, beginning Friday, that serves as a warmup for the upcoming Cricket World Cup in India beginning in October.

In a priority for England, Bairstow did not maintain wicket in New Zealand’s chase due to damage. Jos Buttler, who wasn’t within the beginning lineup to present himself a relaxation, took the gloves.
