Auckland, Nov 10: With the series tied at 2-2, the fifth T20I between England and New Zealand looked to get washed out due to rain on Sunday. However, what took place was a 11 overs a side thriller that was decided in England's favour in Super Over.
New Zealand captain Tim Southee said that while an extra run would have been nice, it was a good end to the series. "The shorter the game, the harder the sides can go," Southee said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
"They just kept coming hard and it would have been nice to have one more run somewhere, but it wasn't to be. It was a good series, which sort of ebbed and flowed throughout. At the end of the day, it was good cricket which finished off with some good entertainment here," he said.
