In the process, they posted their highest-ever total in T20I cricket, beating their previous best of 243/5, which came against West Indies in 2018. Meanwhile, Afghanistan holds the highest total across the world with 278/3 which they scored against Ireland in 2019.

In reply, Scotland were never really in the contest. They were down to 37/4 at one point but somehow managed to post a respectable total of 152/9. Chris Greaves, one of their heroes in the last T20 World Cup, came to the rescue with a 29-ball 37. For New Zealand, Bracewell, Ish Sodhi, Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Ben Sears, and Michael Rippon were among the wickets.

After New Zealand's 2-0 sweep, the two sides will now play for the one last time on July 31 in a one-off ODI at the same venue.
