Scotland vs New Zealand: The first T20I was all about Finn Allen. He is turning out to be an asset and is putting his name up for the T20 World Cup well. New Zealand overall were pretty dominant and they had an easier time than they did in Ireland. Both batting and bowling were pretty good, while Scotland will feel they need to work on their batting.
