Like New Zealand did, Australian top order too had a tough time getting runs after the start of the innings. This was quite a slow start by Aussie's standard.
New Zealand innings: 10/225 (49.3/50 overs), Run rate: 4.54
Australia innings: 1/22 (10/50 overs), Run rate: 2.2
The play is stopped due to the storm interruption. The full second innings summary and full match presentation will be followed soon. Until then, keep guessing the winner.
