| 7.1 : Over 7.1: Faulkner to Guptill, OUT, no run, goes to pick up a length ball and flick it high over the leg side, gets under it a fair bit and that gives Maxwell the chance to run around from long on and take an excellent catch right on the boundary edge! |

| New Zealand end up on 142 after their 20 overs, not a bad total but they would have hoped for 150+ after the start they got off to. |
| Australia pegged it back well with a lot of slower balls making it difficult to time the ball, and you'd think the NZ bowlers will take note and look to exploit the conditions in a similar fashion. |
