New Zealand VS England 1st T20

England Won there 1st T20 Against New Zealand by 40 runs.

February 9, 2013
England 214 for 7 (Morgan 46, Wright 42) beat New Zealand 174 for 9 (Guptill 44, Broad 4-24)
 
It was the sort of night that batsmen dream of. The drop-in pitch at Eden Park was hard and true, the straight boundaries were of dimensions more normally associated with the village green, and there was havoc to wreak. England did just that, registering their highest Twenty20 total as one batsman after another played with total freedom.
 
A target of 215 was all too much for New Zealand, even on a warm and bountiful night when batsmen could have hit straight sixes with a stick of rhubarb, if it was stringy enough. They fell 40 runs short to go one down in a three-match series which now moves on to Hamilton on Tuesday.
