That's a wrap from us!! We were treated to some brilliant batting performance in this T20I series here in Edinburgh, don't forget to join us for the ODI game on Sunday. Until then, this is Shashank Surly logging out along with my esteemed co-commentator Ovaise Shariff and our scorer Yogesh Kumar. Goodbye and goodnight :)
Shashank: That brings us to the end of the presentation. We have been feasted to some scintillating batting performance form New Zealand, making 250 in a T20 game doesn't happen often. We will move onto the last game of this series, a lone ODI which will be played here at Edinburgh on Sunday and we hope to be have some exciting game of cricket in that match.
Mitchell Santner (Winning Captain): "We started well up front with the bat, we were aggressive from ball one. Different guys have stepped up at different times!!  He is obviously a quality player, he stepped up with the bat today. Look the guys are getting the opportunity and making the most of it, It's brilliant to see this. We are looking forward to continuing with this momentum. Thank you." 
Richie Berrington (Losing Captain): "We are disappointed with the performance, hats off to the Kiwi batters for putting such a good score, at this level it was criminal to let go of some of the chances we had. We lacked to create opportunities in our last two games and that's where we have conceded to them. We just need more experience when we play at this level, we will take lot of learnings from this series. We hope to comeback strong on Sunday."
Mark Chapman (Man of the Match): "Happy to be out there and contributing to the score. It was good to have a game, It was a good surface, the man set we came into the game is to take on the bowler and we did well to execute our plans."
Shashank: That brings us to the end of the game, New Zealand win this contest comfortably by 102 runs and take the series 2-0!! Clinical from the men in black as they have turned over this dull Scotland side.

New Zealand had no hesitancy to bat first, they lost their hero from the last game, Finn Allen, pretty early in the innings. But Mark Chapman held the innings firmly with some key contributions from Daryl Mitchell (31 off 19) and Dan Cleaver (28 off 16). 

Later, Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell took apart the lackluster Scottish bowling attack, both put on a career best T20I performance. Chapman ended with a 44-ball-83 as Michael Bracewell powered to an unbeaten 61 off just 25 balls. Which was crucial to propel the Kiwis to their record T20I score of 254/5.

Scotland bowlers found it very tough, but Gavin Main was the only bowler to struck twice for Scotland, birthday boy Mark Watt, went wicketless and was costly but held onto three catches. rest had disappointing figures too.

Scotland started the chase with the right intent, George Munsey was looking good for his 19, but was trapped in front of the stumps by Neesham, the similar trend followed with other Scotland batters, all got some decent enough starts but couldn't go on to make a feasible contribution. Only Chris Greaves was able to cross the 30 run mark, he put a valiant 37 from 29 balls. Scotland put up a brave fight but were well short of the target in the end.

Six different bowlers got wickets for the visitors, Jimmy Neesham and Michael Rippon were the only ones who ended the day with two wickets to their name.

Hang in there, the post match presentation is just a moment away.
