That's all we have from this low-scoring but entertaining game. The Trans-Tasman rivalry is up and running in style and the second ODI is on Thursday, 8th September at 9.50 am IST (4.20 am GMT). Do join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!

Cameron Green (89* off 92 balls) is the Player of the Match. The tall all-rounder says that he is feeling tired and sore as his groin, calf, hamstring and forearms are gone at the moment. Hopes that he has a couple of days off and he will be fine. He praises Zampa and calls him the finisher. Lauds the batting effort of Carey too and shares that the plan was to stick around till the end. Tells that it means a lot to score his first ODI fifty and get his side over the line.

Kane Williamson, the captain of New Zealand, says the game ebbed and flowed on a tricky surface. Adds they needed a few more runs on the board. Calls the stand of Alex Carey and Cameron Green outstanding. Mentions that they tried hard and had Australia five down but then failed to get that breakthrough. Feels that they adapted to the conditions really quickly as it was a difficult pitch to bat on.

Aaron Finch, the Australian skipper, says that they have made a habit of making these chases close. Praises Alex Carey and Cameron Green for soaking a lot of pressure and feels that it would have been better had they finished the job. Credits New Zealand for their fightback. Mentions that there is still a lot of work to be done. Tells that it's an extraordinary effort from Green who will be sore and tired after facing all the cramps.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

This defeat for New Zealand is only and only due to a flavourless batting show. To provide context, their last six wickets fell for just 53 runs and that meant New Zealand were left with a below-par total on the board. As mentioned earlier, Trent Boult and Matt Henry were brilliant up front but the same intensity was lacking in the middle overs. The Kiwis did manage to break the stand between Carey and Green and then removed Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc quickly as well, but the presence of Cameron Green didn't allow them to go all the way. The little contribution from Adam Zampa cannot be ignored which helped Green in the end who was struggling with cramps.

The chase started in the worst possible way for the home team. Aaron Finch fell again to one of his nemeses Trent Boult who was in fiery form. He removed Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne in quick succession as well, and then Matt Henry hunted down David Warner and Marcus Stoinis to put Australia's chase in the doldrums. With their backs to the wall, the pair of Cameron Green and Alex Carey joined forces and led the rescue act. They survived a few edgy moments and then looked at ease as the pitch settled down and the softer balls stopped doing much. Their record century stand stole the momentum away from the Kiwis, and Australia eventually crossed the line, but not without a late scare.

An unconvincing win for Australia, to say the least! Not the way they would have liked to reach the target, but they have reached it nonetheless. To sum it up in one line - They flaunted their batting depth in a rather insipid show to take the lead in this 3-match series. Australia now have 100 points in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League 2020-2022/23, and winning the next two games will take them to the top, above England.

44.6

Mitchell Santner To Adam Zampa

Full and on leg. Zampa drills it past the diving mid-wicket fielder and the ball rolls to long on. A single. Scores are level.

44.5

Mitchell Santner To Adam Zampa

Tossed up, outside off. Zampa pushes it past point and collects a brace. Poor from the fielder, he throws it at the striker's end when everyone knows that Green is struggling with cramps. Anyway, excellent running particularly from Green who is struggling right now.

Common sense prevails. The covers are being taken off now. Both the batters are back in the middle. Mitchell Santner to continue...

Are they going off? Oh no, the umpires have called for covers. Australia are only 4 runs away from winning. They though are ahead on the DLS count. Both the batters are walking off the field. The New Zealand players have stayed out.

44.4

Mitchell Santner To Adam Zampa

FOUR! Zampa showing his batting skills here! What a shot from Australia's number 10. Tossed up, around off. Zampa slog-sweeps it to deep mid-wicket and the ball bounces right in front of the ropes. Four runs needed now.

44.3

Mitchell Santner To Cameron Green

Slower in the air, flatter and outside off, Green cuts it to deep cover-point for a single.

44.2

Mitchell Santner To Adam Zampa

Slightly short and outside off, Zampa punches it off the back foot through covers for a single.

44.1

Mitchell Santner To Adam Zampa

Full and on off, Zampa defends it back.

Another halt! Cameron Green needs some more treatment. The physios are stretching his legs. He looks good to go now. It's drizzling a bit but the umpires are continuing...

Lockie Ferguson To Adam Zampa

A single and Zampa will keep the strike! Length and outside off. Zampa guides it to deep point for a single. Cameron Green is standing between New Zealand and the victory line. Australia need just 10 runs now.

43.5

Lockie Ferguson To Adam Zampa

That's an audacious attempt from Australia's number 10. An off-cutter, on a length and outside off, Zampa makes room and looks to slap it over the off side but misses.

43.4

Lockie Ferguson To Cameron Green

On the pads, Green flicks it firmly down to fine leg. Green is limping as he runs across. There is a slight hesitation for the run but both cross in the end.

43.3

Lockie Ferguson To Cameron Green

Pitches it up, outside off, it is driven to mid off. Green and Zampa are having a quick chat here.

43.2

Lockie Ferguson To Cameron Green

FOUR! Green playing a gem of an innings here! A slower, short ball on middle and leg. Green heaves it wide of deep square leg for a boundary.

43.1

Lockie Ferguson To Cameron Green

This is very full, outside off. Green looks to drive but toe-ends his shot and the ball dies on its way to the keeper.
