| 0.4 : 0.4: Tim Southee to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Finch gets off the mark in fine fashion, with a boundary. Southee slides this one on the leg pole, on a length, Finch flicks this one with aplomb through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Trent Boult to Josh Philippe, OUT! LBW! Boult draws first blood and Philippe goes back for a very low score. A very good delivery from Boult and the Kiwis are pumped. A pacy fuller ball on middle and leg, Philippe looks to tuck this one away but the pace is just too much for him to deal with. Gets rapped on the pad and up goes the Black Caps in appeal. The umpire agrees and raises his finger. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Trent Boult to Matthew Wade, FOUR! Wade gets off the mark in style. Boult goes for the full delivery, on the pads, Wade flicks this one nicely towards the fine leg region for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Mitchell Santner to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Too full and Finch does not miss out. Flighted around off, Finch makes room and lofts this one over point for a boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Mitchell Santner to Matthew Wade, FOUR! A good shot and a nice way to finish off the over. Tossed up, on middle, Wade sweeps this one through short fine leg, for a boundary. 11 off this over. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Trent Boult to Matthew Wade, FOUR! That is caressed! Full on off, Wade drives it through covers for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Tim Southee to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Nicely played! Length delivery outside off, Finch lofts it over mid on for a boundary. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Tim Southee to Matthew Wade, SIX! That is hammered! Full delivery on middle, Wade flicks it over square leg for a maximum. Looked very effortless. 15 runs off this over and Australia are are at 47/1 at the end of the Powerplay. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Glenn Phillips to Aaron Finch, SIX! That is clobbered! Floated ball on middle, Finch smashes it over mid-wicket for a biggie. Finch is again looking very good as this one was absolutely cracked. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Ish Sodhi to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Cracking shot! Short delivery on off, Finch punches it through covers. The fielder in the deep tries to stop it but fails to do so. It races away to the fence. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Ish Sodhi to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Terrific shot! Tossed up ball on off, Finch lofts it over mid off for a boundary. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Ish Sodhi to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! Ish Sodhi gets the breakthrough and at an important stage too. These two were looking settled until now and this wicket does the Kiwis a world of good. Shorter and outside off, Finch backs away and looks to slam this one through point but does so uppishly. Mitchell Santner is the fielder there, who dives to his left and takes a good catch. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Mark Chapman to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one falls for Australia and the Black Caps are doing really well to come back into this game. Maxwell goes back for a measly one run. Tossed up, around off, inviting Maxi to go for the sweep. He gets low and does so uppishly, towards the deep square leg region where Trent Boult settles under this one, and takes a very good catch. A nothing shot and Chapman gets his first wicket. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Ish Sodhi to Matthew Wade, SIX! Wade wants to charge now. Tossed up and around off on this occasion, Wade gets low and mows a slog sweep over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Glenn Phillips to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR! A freebie and Marcus does not miss out. This one is outside off, Marcus Stoinis carves this one over point for a boundary. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Trent Boult to Matthew Wade, OUT! CAUGHT! The decision to bring on Boult by Kane Williamson has paid rich dividends for the Kiwis. Wade was looking set so far and the Aussies would have wanted him to continue but he perishes. A slower full ball on middle, Wade looks to flick but does so uppishly towards the deep mid-wicket region, where Martin Guptill takes the catch, diving forward. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Tim Southee to Marcus Stoinis, SIX! That is dispatched! Full on middle, Stoinis lofts it over long on for a maximum. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Ish Sodhi to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! Guptill gets another catch and Australia lose another. This was a freebie and it had to be dispatched but instead, he holes out. This one is outside off, Marcus Stoinis looks to muscle this one over the fielder at long off but does not quite time it well. An easy take for Martin Guptill in the deep. Ish gets his second of the game as well. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Ish Sodhi to Ashton Agar, OUT! CAUGHT! An action replay of the previous dismissal and Australia lose their 6th wicket. Sodhi doing really well to close out his spell for the day on a bang. He goes for the full toss outside off again, Agar skips down and looks to slam this one over the deep mid-wicket region but again, with no proper timing on this one. Holes out to Martin Guptill again in the deep. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Trent Boult to Mitchell Marsh, SIX! That is powerful! Length delivery on middle, Marsh smashes it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Tim Southee to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Southee seemed to be missing the mark when he started the over, but he has found his mark here. He bowls a pacy yorker on middle, Marsh looks to play at this but he misses and the ball sneaks in under the bat. The ball does not miss though. You know the rest. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Tim Southee to Jhye Richardson, OUT! CAUGHT! Southee gets his second wicket! Full on middle, Jhye Richardson swings it over mid-wicket but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards the fielder where Glenn Phillips takes a comfortable catch. AUSTRALIA END WITH 142/8! |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Glenn Phillips to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR! Over the man in the deep. Tosses this one up and lands it just around off, Marcus Stoinis lofts this one with power towards the long on region where Devon Conway tries to scalp this but misses and the ball takes a bounce and crosses over. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Riley Meredith to Martin Guptill, FOUR! A very good stroke and it is also the first boundary of the innings. Fuller and on the middle pole, Guptill flicks this one with aplomb through square leg. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Ashton Agar to Devon Conway, FOUR! In the gap now! That's Devon's strong zone. Agar goes shorter and outside off, Conway backs away and slaps this one through backward point. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Ashton Agar to Martin Guptill, SIX! WHAM! Power of Guptill in full flow now. A wonderful end to the over! Flighted and on middle, Guptill whacks this one over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. 13 runs off Agar's second over! |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Kane Richardson to Devon Conway, FOUR! Short of a length on middle, Conway looks to pull but gets a top edge. It goes over the keeper's head for a boundary. Lucky, but the Kiwis won't really mind it. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Kane Richardson to Martin Guptill, FOUR! Now, this one was intentional, alright! Terrific shot! Full delivery outside off, Guptill drives it through point for a boundary. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Riley Meredith to Devon Conway, FOUR! That is put away! Good length ball on middle, Conway flicks it nicely towards fine leg for a boundary. Starts the over off on a very good note. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Riley Meredith to Devon Conway, SIX! That is hammered! Short of a length on middle, Conway pulls it over mid-wicket for a maximum. 10 runs off the first 2 balls of the over. Conway is on a roll now! |
| 6.2: Adam Zampa to Martin Guptill, FOUR! Nicely swept! Loopy delivery on middle, Guptill plays a slog sweep towards mid-wicket for a boundary. Kane Richardson ran across and tried to stop the ball but was not able to, on this occasion. |

| 11.5 : 11.5: Riley Meredith to Devon Conway, OUT! CAUGHT! Riley strikes but it might be too little, too late at this moment! Conway has already done the damage but he would have wanted to stay on longer. On a good length and around off, Conway swings his blade at, looking to go over the cover region but the ball takes the outside edge and flies to the deep point region, where Agar takes an easy catch. 37 needed in 49 balls. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Riley Meredith to Kane Williamson, OUT! LBW! Two in two for Riley! A back of a length ball around off and middle, Williamson looks to flick this one to the leg side but he misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal and the umpire raises the finger. Kane Williamson goes for the review straightaway. Ultra Edge shows nothing while Ball Tracker says it is umpire's call on the wickets and so, Williamson has to go back. The Black Caps retain their review though. 37 needed in 8 overs now. |

He departs for 71 but he has done his job really well. Shortish and around off this time, Martin Guptill looks to pull this one to the leg side but the ball takes the top edge and flies towards the short fine leg region.
