Allen attacked early, scooping Junaid Siddique for six, while Seifert impressed with inventive reverse sweeps against left-arm spinner Haider Ali. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Allen also reached the milestone of 100 sixes in T20 internationals during his innings. UAE\u2019s bowlers, apart from Haider, failed to contain the duo, who raced to 119 without loss in 10 overs, effectively ending the contest.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>The emphatic win marked New Zealand\u2019s second victory in the tournament and sent a strong message to their rivals, while UAE were left with lessons to learn after a tough tournament debut.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/icc-mens-t20-world-cup\/world-record-at-t20-world-cup-highest-partnership-for-any-wicket-helps-new-zealand-chase-down-174-inside-15-2-overs\/articleshow\/128159710.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Zealand vs UAE (AP Photo) NEW DELHI: New Zealand\u2019s openers Tim Seifert and Finn&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4649,3163,4647,4645,4650,2813,4648,1125,4646,4127],"class_list":["post-1549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-10-wicket-victory","tag-cricket-records","tag-finn-allen","tag-highest-partnership","tag-muhammad-waseem","tag-new-zealand-cricket","tag-t20-international-cricket","tag-t20-world-cup","tag-tim-seifert","tag-uae-cricket"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
