Adaptable New Zealand show why they are not to be taken lightly

Black Caps dig deep to secure series win over England

New Zealand have shown their adaptability and resilience to secure a 2-1 series victory over England in the Twenty20 International series.

After losing the first match by five wickets, the Black Caps bounced back to win the second match by 10 wickets and the third match by 12 runs.

New Zealand's victory was built on a solid batting foundation, with Devon Conway leading the way with 31 runs in the second match and 63 runs in the third match.

The bowling attack was also impressive, with Trent Boult taking 3/20 and Tim Southee taking 2/25 in the second match. In the third match, Lockie Ferguson took 3/15 and Michael Bracewell took 2/22.

England's batting line-up struggled throughout the series, with only Sam Billings (57 runs) and Moeen Ali (46 runs) passing 40 runs.

The win over England is a timely boost for New Zealand, who are preparing for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.

It showed that the Black Caps are capable of adapting to different conditions and playing styles, and they will be a force to be reckoned with at the World Cup.
