Commentator: Andrew McGlashan
Australia win by seven wickets and that is a thrashing. More than 16 overs to spare. Dominant from start to finish. A huge amount for New Zealand to think about before the next match on Monday. Early wickets set the tone and then Australia's bowlers were to the fore before a very professional run chase with barely an alarm. That's 19 wins in a row now...the record continues. Thanks for joining me today, I'll be back for the second game. For now, from Andrew McGlashan, it's goodbye and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
END OF OVER:33 | 6 Runs | AUS-W: 173/3 (8 runs required from 17 overs, RR: 5.24, RRR: 0.47)
