The 2021 Australian Open was limited in spectator numbers as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and saw a snap five-day lockdown enforced midway through the event. New Zealand openers Guptill and Daryl Mitchell (13) eased their way to 35-0 off four overs before the impressive Sharif struck twice in five balls in his second over. Watt combined well with Chris Greaves to keep the Black Caps under wraps, restricting the Kiwis to 70-3 off 10 overs with Phillips finding it particularly tough to get going. A slog-swept maximum over long-on off Michael Leask helped - and Guptill followed suit, reaching his fifty off 35 balls by launching Greaves for his 150th career T20 maximum.
