Approaching 9pm, the prospect of any cricket in Auckland appeared fanciful at best.
By 10pm, Finn Allen was walking off Eden Park with 71 next to his name after 29 balls of futuristic cricket.
Allen s maiden 50 was the centrepiece of the Black Caps imposing 141-4 off the allotted 10 overs as the Black Caps put a bold-type exclamation point on their extraordinary season.
It was always going to be a tall order to chase it down. After eight overs Bangladesh were 70-8 needing 36 an over off the final two to win – not impossible, but pretty tricky all the same.

In 2019,
Tiffany Hainesworth made history after becoming the first Black woman to be the sole owner of a tequila brand. A native of Washington, D.C. and a former federal employee, Hainesworth started T-Capri Tequila after getting into a car accident and wanting to do something different.
“I was in a car accident, and, you know, things were bad for me, I wasn’t working… I wanted to do something different, something fun,” Hainesworth told
Following the accident, she began making her own gourmet creations including gummy bears that included liquor from popular brands. She told the outlet that having her own tequila brand was always in her vision.
