New Zealand eye under-strength Australia

Vice-captain David Warner, being rested and an ankle injury suffered by captain Steven Smith rules him out of all 3 games.

So.. it's a bit of an Aussie B team..

I hope they beat NZ anyway.. they need momentum head to a tour to INDIA


Aussie Captain will be Matthew Wade
Wade will be the third wicketkeeper to captain Australia in ODIs; Adam Gilchrist led the team in 17 matches and Ian Healy stood in as captain eight times

Now Wade is sidelined and Finch is captain?

Talk about "evening the playing field."

This should be interesting. Hope NZ bowls first.

Nope, Australia won the toss and is fielding.

Game over

After "Aust B" were down 6 wickets and less than 100 runs 6/67 (18.2 ov).. they should have had no show, but....

WOW what an exciting finish... as it turned out Aust DESERVED TO WIN.
They only needed 7 runs off 19 balls

Centurian Marcus Stoinis Not out on 146

NZ 286/9 (50.0 ov)
Australia 280 (47.0 ov)

NZ win by 6 runs


NZ lead 3-game series 1 - 0
