LONDON, June 29

Trent Boult’s hat-trick proved in vain for New Zealand as Australia beat their Oceania rivals by 86 runs at Lord’s to remain top of the points table. Boult finished with 4/51 but Usman Khawaja (88) and Alex Carey (71) forged a century-plus stand to help Australia post a competitive 243/9.

Chasing 244 for victory, New Zealand were all out for 157 in the 44th over, with skipper Kane Williamson top scoring for them with 40. Mitchell Starc (5/26) was the pick of the Australian bowlers in a one-sided rematch of the 2015 World Cup final. Australia wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey was declared Man of the Match. — Reuters
