Melbourne, December 9
Opener David Warner smashed his second straight hundred and Mitchell Starc bowled lethal reverse swing to spearhead Australia to a third big win over New Zealand in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy here today. The Australian vice-captain was run out on the last ball of the innings for 156 off 128 balls — more than half of his team’s 264/8 total — with 13 fours and four sixes.
Starc then led Australia to a series sweep, helping to skittle the Kiwis for 147. Brief scores: Australia 264/8 (Warner 156; Boult 3/49); NZ 147 (Guptill 34; Starc 3/34). — Reuters
