SCO VS NZ - 1st T20I, New Zealand tour of Scotland, 2022

That's all for now. There's plenty of cricket happening around the world. Catch up on all the action. The second T20I of this series is on Friday. Do join us then. Until then cuddle up and sleep tight. Stay safe and see you soon.

Mitchell Santner | New Zealand skipper: It was [on the performance], the wicket started to spin a little bit which was nice to see. Smallish ground and he [Finn Allen] showed glimpses of what he can do in the Ireland series, with the way he is going serves us well. Think the depth in our squad shows, the guys coming through have shown what they can do and it's great for our future.

Richie Berrington | Scotland skipper: Certainly a few areas we did not execute as we can. We leaked a few more than what we wanted to at the back end. Finn Allen played a superb knock for them and put us under pressure. As I said before to execute well and just be really clear with our plans moving forward. Great to be back playing T20 cricket, will take a lot of learnings from this. Chris Greaves bowled really well. Another opportunity on Friday so hopefully we will do well.

Finn Allen | POTM: Nice wicket to get and to get a few runs on the board. Nice to get a few out of the middle and get a score for your country. Gups [Guptill] is so good through the middle, he is a great character and it's always nice batting with him. Good surface, it was coming on nicely, longing for it from Ireland.

Finn Allen is the Player of the Match for his maiden T20I hundred.

17:51 Local Time, 16:51 GMT, 22:21 IST: A stroll in the park for New Zealand after they made 225. A good workout for all their bowlers as the hosts were never in the game. Mind you, Scotland tried hard but it was always going to be a miracle if they got anywhere close to that total against a varied New Zealand attack. Sodhi impressed with a four-fer, using his googly to great effect. Bracwell and Santner spun the ball appreciably and changed their pace to telling results. New Zealand's fielding was outstanding again especially Phillips and Allen in the outfield. Stay tuned for the presentation...
