Later, during Australia’s innings, New Zealand bowlers gave a hard-time to the Australian batsmen as not just they restricted them to get closer to the target but also managed to dismiss them in quick successions. Mitchell Marsh was the highest scorer in the Australian batting line-up with 45 runs.
Captain for the ongoing series, Aaron Finch was dismissed for 1 run. Josh Philippe, Glenn Maxwell, and Daniel Sams were also dismissed cheaply after scoring 2, 1, and 1 run respectively. Eventually, the Australian batting line-up collapsed in front of talented NZ bowlers.
