Batting first, the opening pair of Martin Guptill and wicketkeeper-batter Devon Conway gave a strong start to the Kiwi team. They both made a partnership of 62 runs in 7.3 overs. Devon Conway played the knock of 43 runs alongside 47-run innings from Kane Williamson. These two knocks helped the visitors to reach a total of 185 runs in the 20 overs after losing five wickets.

Speaking of Hetmyer’s catch, then it was the eighth over of the first innings when New Zealand was batting. Martin Guptill played Odean Smith towards the boundary where Hetmyer was fielding. He went on to make a huge jump to catch the ball which left everyone in Sabina Park shocked.
