After South Africa vs Pakistan, this was another mouth-watering clash in the tournament. In a must-win game, Australia defeated New Zealand by 5 runs and registered a memorable win. With this win, the Aussies have kept their hopes alive in the championship. Mitchell Starc bowled a stunning final over and handed over the Kiwis their second loss in the World Cup. After starting well and continuing the momentum till the end, New Zealand failed to cross the finish line and had another heartbreak.
Batting first, Australia managed to put a mammoth 388 on the scoreboard. David Warner (81) and Travis Head (109) provided a fantastic start to keep the scoreboard ticking. Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, and Pat Cummins ensured they put in maximum runs.
Although the Kiwis lost their openers early, Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell gave the start they wanted. James Neesham tried his best, but his run out at a crucial juncture cost them the match.
