AUS vs NZ, 3rd ODI Live: New Zealand are chasing 268 in final ODI© AFP

Australia vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI Highlights: Mitchell Starc's three-wicket haul, followed by two-wicket hauls by Cameron Green and Sean Abbott, helped Australia bundle out New Zealand at 242 and claim a 25-run win in the third and final ODI on Sunday. Put to bat first, Australia scored 267 runs with a 105-run knock from Steve Smith. Marnus Labuschagne scored 52 runs. For New Zealand, Trent Boult scalped two wickets while Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson took one wicket each. Later, New Zealand struggled during their innings as Glenn Phillips top-scored for the Kiwis with his knock of 47 runs. Apart from him, Finn Allen and James Neesham scored 35 and 36 each. With this win, Australia have clean-swept the three-match ODI series 3-0. Earlier on Saturday, skipper Aaron Finch had announced that he would be retiring from the format after the final ODI against New Zealand. (Scorecard)

  1. !

    We are back for the run chase. Finn Allen and Devon Conway are the two openers for New Zealand. Mitchell Starc to start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...

  2. !

    ... RUN CHASE ...

  3. !

    Right then, Australia are clearly ahead in this game with a competitive score to defend on a difficult pitch and with the bowling attack, they possess. They will be looking to come out and take early wickets to seal a comprehensive clean sweep in the series. New Zealand will have to bat much better than they have throughout this series if they are to complete an unlikely victory. They have Super League points to play for and have strengthened their batting going into the game. We hope for a fighting performance from them when we return for the run chase. Do join us shortly for the reply.

  4. !

    Steven Smith the centurion is up for a chat and he starts by saying it was pretty tough work at the start of the innings. Says they needed to take time as the opponents have a really good bowling attack and Trent Boult was swinging the ball in. Claims that it was a really good partnership with Marnus Labuschagne. Adds that he wasn't overthinking while batting and chose his moments to take on the bowlers as it was all about playing smart. Ends by saying they have a decent total on the board.

  5. !

    The Kiwi bowlers began with discipline and fire just the way they have done all through the series. Both Trent Boult and Tim Southee got a wicket each early on and pegged their opponents on the back foot straight away. They were unable to break down the stubborn partnership between Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne as the runs kept piling on. Lockie Ferguson broke the partnership but by then a platform had been set for the big hitters of Australia to launch into an attack. They did keep chipping away at the wickets and did not let their opponents run away with the game and will hope that their batting clicks this time around to take them home. Trent Boult was the pick of the bowlers taking 2 wickets for 25 runs in his full quota of 10 overs. They would have hoped to restrict Australia closer to the 230-run mark with the way they started.

  6. !

    Australia got off to a poor start with their makeshift opener Josh Inglis departing early and their out-of-form skipper Aaron Finch following suit. He left the ground to a standing ovation in appreciation for his long and successful ODI career. His wicket brought Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne to the wicket together and they began the rebuilding process. They found it difficult to score runs initially but they picked up the scoring rate as their innings progressed. They put on a 118-run partnership for the third wicket with Marnus Labuschagne being dismissed after a well-made half-century. Steven Smith was unstoppable though as he went on to score his 12th ODI century. He put on a 69-run partnership with Alex Carey to keep the scoreboard motoring along. Alex Carey and Cameron Green provided the finishing touches and pushed Australia close to the 270-run mark.

  7. !

    Quite a flourish from the hosts right at the end! Australia have clawed themselves to a comfortable position with 267 runs on the board. They will be really happy with this score on a difficult pitch and against an in-form bowling lineup. The bulk of the credit goes to Steven Smith who once again dragged Australia out of a pickle. New Zealand started well but once again faded as the game progressed and they will now have their task cut out if they are to seal a consolation win.
