The incident happened in the first delivery of an 18-over bowled by England spinner Adil Rashid with striker Jimmy Neesham. At the time New Zealand required 34 with three overs to go and, despite the match conditions, Mitchell refused to take a single, feeling it would interfere with the bowlers trying to stop the ball on the follow-on. Niesham hit the ball solidly, but it fell just outside of Rashid’s reach, but Mitchell and Rashid collided as they tried to stop the ball. Eager to score a single, Niesham saw an opportunity and got down the wicket but was denied by Mitchell at the other end.
“It’s a real honor to win the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award and it was really great to be a part of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the UAE last year. Looking back, the semi-final match of the tournament against England was pretty close with just remaining overs,” Neesh said.
