In a sensational T20 World Cup Group D performance, New Zealand's openers Finn Allen and Tim Seifert brilliantly smashed unbeaten half-centuries, securing a commanding 10-wicket win against the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.

Allen's stunning 84 and Seifert's explosive 89 ensured that New Zealand effortlessly chased down the 174-run target in a mere 15.2 overs, marking the highest partnership record for any wicket in T20 matches.

Earlier, UAE's skipper Muhammad Waseem and rising talent Alishan Sharafu contributed solid fifties to set up a fighting 173 for six, but their valiant efforts were overshadowed by New Zealand's overwhelming batting prowess.
