The Kane Williamson-led New Zealand team has traveled to Australia for a 3-match ODI series. Australia won the first 2 ODIs of the series and took the series 2-0.
In this case, the 3rd and last ODI of the series will be played today. In this case, the toss was cast for this match. New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl. Accordingly, the Australian team batted first. Finch, who is playing his last ODI, and Josh Inglis are the openers for the team.
The opening pair were immediately separated by the New Zealand fast bowlers. Inglis lost the match by 10 runs and Finch by 5 runs in subsequent overs. Then Steve Smith and Labuschagne joined for the 3rd wicket. Labuschagne was bowled out for 52 runs while this relaxed partnership added 118 runs for the 3rd wicket.
