Men's ODI WC: 2019 Final Was First Thing I Thought Of...', Says Neesham On His Run-out In NZ's Narrow Loss To Aus
ODI World Cup: New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham was reminded of his ODI World Cup 2019 final experience after his team fell short of five runs in a chase that could have been monumental against Australia on Saturday.
Neesham's superb 58 off 39 balls almost propelled New Zealand to a remarkable comeback. However, a crucial run-out, when he was desperate second, ended his innings on the penultimate ball. With six needed off the final delivery, Mitchell Starc held his nerve, denying Lockie Ferguson as New Zealand finished at 383/9 in reply to Australia's 388/10.
In the 2019 World Cup, Martin Guptill attempted a second run in a similar to secure the win but was run-out in a similar fashion, resulting in a tied game. Neesham was at the non-striker’s end back then. Eventually, Australia won the final on the basis of a boundary countback.
