Australian bowling unit restricted Kiwis to 150 runs from 20 overs. After Wednesday's carnage at this venue, Australia captain David Warner identified early wickets as the key to halting another run-fest. And while the Black Caps looked on track for another monster total when ace duo Martin Guptill and Colin Munro had New Zealand going at 10-an-over early on, a devastating collapse set in. Spinner Ashton Agar (more on him below) took three wickets in eight balls and pace duo Kane Richardson and Andrew Tye (both 2-30 off four) picked up two scalps apiece as New Zealand lost 8 wickets in span of 10 overs for just 62 runs. All-rounder Marcus Stoinis (1-23) also chipped in and was again frugal, as Australia's seamers collectively went at 7.5 per over a far cry from what had been expected after Friday night. New Zealand's surprising procession was briefly halted with a 38-run ninth-wicket stand between Ross Taylor and No.10 batsmen Ish Sodhi scores 13 runs off 16 balls. But while Taylor pushed the total to an even 150 runs, it was never likely to be enough.
