Hafeez came out to face the hat-trick ball, and was promptly trapped lbw by an inswinger, and up went the umpire's finger to scenes of celebration amongst the Black Caps players. At 208-3 with nine overs remaining, the Black Caps looked set up to launch, but a mini-collapse nearly scuttled their plans. Sodhi chipped in with a controversial wicket from his first ball, with Shadab (poor, poor Shadab...) missing the ball by a mile but given out caught behind anyway, in a horrific decision from umpire Joel Wilson.
