Finn Allen led the way as the Black Caps completed a clean sweep in their T20 international series against Bangladesh.
Things have happened fast for Finn Allen this summer and that hasn’t changed even though he has swapped his Wellington Firebirds uniform for a Black Caps one. The 21-year-old batsman was set to leave for the Indian Premier League on Friday evening, less than 24 hours after playing a match-winning innings in the third Twenty20 international against Bangladesh in Auckland. He might have only been with the team for six days – from Saturday until Thursday – but Allen still managed to learn plenty from the more experienced players around him, to overcome the ignominy of making a golden duck on debut, and to finish the week by blasting 71 off 29 balls at Eden Park.
