Batsman hitting a six has become a pretty casual thing of late, especially, after the emergence of the shorter format of the game. However, a few cricketers have added a speciality to those sixes by launching them out of the park, in fact, out of the stadium. The latest to experience that was Dawid Malan, who smashed a huge six during the 2nd T20I at Wellington.

It was in the 10th over of the game when James Neesham delivered a ball in the slot for Dawid Malan. The youngster was in no mood to leave the ball, as he smashed the delivery out of the stadium handsomely to awe the fans, who witnessed it from the stands.

New Zealand levels the series 1-1:

Coming to the match, initially, Eoin Morgan won the toss and elected to bowl first. Martin Guptill managed to end the drought of runs in international arena scoring a 28-ball 41. Saqib Mahmood, who made his T20I debut was hit all around the park.  Saqib Mahmood got the wicket of Tim Siefert but gave 47 runs in four overs.

Despite wickets falling at regular intervals, the Kiwis maintained a decent run rate. James Neesham, who was playing his first T20I since a couple of years, registered his career-best 42 in the format. Neesham scored 42 runs from 22 balls including two fours and four sixes. The knock helped New Zealand put 176 on the board.

Chasing a target of 177, England lost early wickets. Tim Southee struck with the first ball removing Jonny Bairstow whereas Lockie Ferguson got rid of James Vince in his first over.

England kept on losing wickets throughout the innings. Leg spinner Ish Sodhi took two wickets whereas Mitchell Santner took three wickets. However, Eoin Morgan, Dawid Malan and Chris Jordan scored in the thirties. With the win, New Zealand levelled the 5-match series 1-1.
