Australia vs New Zealand ICC CWC, 2023, Full Score Card

Mitchell Starc has done it for Australia! Switches to 'round the wicket and delivers it on a fullish length, outside off, Lockie Ferguson gives himself room but fails to get the elevation and can only hit this one along the ground towards cover. Joy on the faces of Mitchell Starc and the rest of the Aussies. Australia win this thriller by 5 runs!

A hobbling Lockie Ferguson is the last man in. A six will win it for New Zealand, anything else and Australia will take the win.

OUT! RUN OUT! Body blow for New Zealand! A 'Superman' effort by Josh Inglis to dismiss James Neesham! Mitchell Starc misses his length as he hurls a knee-high full toss, at the batter, James Neesham gets cramped for room and gets hurried as he tries to heave it away. He does not time it well and has no option to return for the second run. Marnus Labuschagne swoops in quickly and releases the throw towards the batting end. Josh Inglis grabs it cleanly and stretches out with his left hand to disturb the woodwork. The replays show that the full-length dive by James Neesham was not enough for him to reach his ground.

Is that a run-out? It looks like James Neesham might be short of his crease and that could be game over for New Zealand. The replays roll in and they show that Josh Inglis did a great job of diving and getting to knock off the bails in time. Neesham's dive didn't save him and the decision of OUT comes up on the big screen.

Sensational save in the deep by Marnus Labuschagne! On a length, slanting in, on middle and leg, James Neesham goes deep in his crease and slogs it towards deep mid-wicket where Marnus Labuschagne throws himself to his left on the boundary and keeps the ball in play. Two runs taken.

Great stop by Glenn Maxwell! Right up there, on off, James Neesham drills it hard down the wicket. Mitchell Starc gets a hand on it in his follow through which reduces the pace of the delivery. Glenn Maxwell at long on, sprints and tumbles to his right to save a couple of runs for his side.

Fullish delivery, angling in, on middle and leg, James Neesham swats this one away and gets it wide of deep mid-wicket for two runs more.

FIVE WIDES! Oh, dear! Mitchell Starc, what have you done? Tries to zone in at the toes, on a fullish length but the angle takes the ball past James Neesham and the ball rears off the footmark to go over the leaping Josh Inglis for a boundary. Bonus runs for New Zealand.

A direct hit and Trent Boult was gone! Strac charges in from around the wicket and goes on a fullish length, at the stumps, Trent Boult moves leg side and stabs it towards extra cover. He sets off for a single and the ball comes at a good height for Marnus Labuschagne but he fails to hit the target at the non-striker's end.

Right then, 19 needed from 6 balls but Trent Boult will face the first delivery of the final over. Australia will have one less boundary rider for the final over. Can Mitchell Starc defend 18 runs and get his side the win? Or will we see shades of 2015? Let's find out.

Good finish to the over from Josh Hazlewood! Another on a yorker length, outside off, James Neesham tries to get underneath the delivery but fails to do and can only hit it back to the bowler.

Full and angling away, near the tramline on off, James Neesham fails to squeeze this one out on the off side. The perfect wide yorker!

FOUR! In the gap and that will be FIFTY for James Neesham! Josh Hazlewood goes short now, over middle, James Neesham picks the change of pace and sets himself up nicely and early. Pulls it to the right of deep square leg for a boundary.

Full and outside off, James Neesham reaches out and carves it to the left of deep cover for a couple of runs.

Into the wicket by Hazlewood, on off, Trent Boult flat bats this one down to long on and takes a single.

SIX! A valiant effort but Marnus Labuschagne has stepped on the boundary for a maximum! Josh Hazlewood serves this one full but in the slot, around off, Trent Boult clears his front leg and swings through the line. Marnus Labuschagne at long on, makes the mistake of charging in and has to back track eventually. He completes the catch but fails to release the ball before making contact with the ropes.

Is that a maximum? Marnus Labuschagne's body language certainly suggests that it is. The umpires go upstairs and the replays do show that Labuschagne's back heel was on the ropes just a fraction before he let go of the ball and it will be called a maximum.

Josh Hazlewood (8-0-57-2) is back on to bowl the crucial penultimate over.

Another low full toss, outside off, Trent Boult gets bat to ball and works it to deep cover. The batters decide to take a single and it will be Boult on strike at the start of the next over.

Into the wicket, directed at the batter, James Neesham is unable to free his arms and half-pulls it in front of square leg for a single.

WIDE! Loses his radar as he sprays a low full toss, down leg. Starc is lucky that James Neesham did not get any bat on it or else it would have been an easy boundary. A full-length dive by Josh Inglis to his right to prevent any more extra runs.

Looks to go full but ends up serving a low full toss, on the off-stump line, Trent Boult clears his front leg and pushes it in front of mid off for a single.

SIX! BANG! Clean hit! Mitchell Starc tries to go full and straight, at the stumps but misses his length as he serves it in the slot. James Neesham needs no second invitation as he smacks it flat and over long on for a maximum.

Mitchell Starc to continue and he will probably bowl the 48th and the final over. Also, Australia are currently one over behind the required rate and there might be one less fielder on the ropes in the final over.

Shortish delivery, on off, Trent Boult gets on his toes and fends it with a straight bat on the off side.

Continues to bang it in short, off pace again, outside off, Trent Boult sways out of the way quickly and lets the ball go through to the keeper.

Trent Boult walks out to bat next.

OUT! TAKEN! The change of pace does the trick for Pat Cummins! Pat Cummins switches back to bowling into the wicket and opts to take pace off, outside off, Matt Henry hangs on the back foot and tries to force it through the off side. He gets cramped for room and picks out the man at backward point. Josh Hazlewood stationed there, times the jump to perfection and completes the catch over his head. Matt Henry goes now as New Zealand lose their 8th wicket.

FOUR! Up and over! In the slot by Pat Cummins, outside off, Matt Henry swings through the line and knows that mid off is inside the circle. Lofts it over that man for a boundary.

Fuller in length, on the off-stump line, James Neesham closes the bat face and calmly clips it towards deep mid-wicket. Marnus Labuschagne in the deep, charges in a bit too hard and fails to pick the ball up cleanly but the batters are content with a single.

At 142.6 clicks, on a length, outside off, James Neesham stays put as he tries to play it fine on the off side but the ball skids on and zips past his outside edge.

Comes from around the wicket for the right-hander and goes full, at the stumps, Matt Henry stays leg side of the ball as he looks to drive down the ground. Ends up getting an outside edge that races to third man for one.

Starts a new spell from over the wicket, full and spearing in at the stumps James Neesham goes for a swipe across the line but gets hurried as he gets an inside edge that rolls to short fine leg.

Excellently bowled from Pat Cummins and New Zealand now need 58 runs to win from the final five overs. Takes pace off again but loops this one up on leg stump, the ball dips a lot on the batter and Matt Henry is unable to get any bat on it. The ball hits the boot and rolls toward backward point as there is a stifles appeal for LBW as well. Nothing doing says the umpire and it will be a dot.

Slower and into the pitch outside off, pulled away on the bounce down to long on for a single.

Full and at the pads, attacking the toes, Matt Henry clips it away wide of the man at fine leg and turns the strike over.

Begins the over with a slower ball, on a hard length and around off. James Neesham waits for it and tucks it in front of square on the leg side for a run.

On the shorter side around leg, James Neesham goes on the back foot and works it away to deep square leg for one and he will keep the strike for the next over.

Floated full and outside off, Matt Henry leans on and drives it along the ground to deep cover for a couple of runs.

Matt Henry is the new man in. Can he provide support to James Neesham?

OUT! TAKEN! Glenn Maxwell hangs on to a pressure catch and Adam Zampa gets his man. Zampa bravely slows this one up and floats it on a length on middle and leg. Mitchell Santner makes a bit of room as he tries to slog this one away as well but doesn't pick the googly. The ball gets sliced a mile high in the air and goes toward wide long on.

Flatter delivery around off, Mitchell Santner taps it toward extra cover.

SIX! BANG! Tossed up on middle and leg, Mitchell Santner dances down the track and slogs it away, over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Having walked off due to a right Achilles issue during the first half of the game, Lockie Ferguson is fit enough to bat for New Zealand in this game.

Excellent from Pat Cummins and he ends the over with a dot. Banged in short around off, angling away as well but the pace is taken off. James Neesham is way too early on the pull and misses the ball completely.

Half an appeal for LBW but seemed to be pitching outside leg. Pace on, full and around leg stump, Mitchell Santner gets across the stumps and flicks it through fine leg for a run. Given as leg byes.

Slower and shorter outside off, James Neesham frees his arms and flat-bats it down to long off for just another single.

Slower again and very short around off, Mitchell Santner hangs back and gives the ball a tap on the head to guide it toward third man for one more.

Takes pace off and bowls it on a hard length around middle, James Neesham tucks it 'round the corner for one as Mitchell Marsh slides in to make the stop. A big chunk of grass comes off the deck as Marsh feels his knee a bit but thankfully, everything is fine.

FOUR! Just the start to the over James Neesham and New Zealand would have wanted. Short over leg stump and its pace on as well. Neesham picks up the length early and pulls it away in between deep mid-wicket and deep backward square leg for a boundary.

OUT! CAUGHT! What a masterstroke from the Aussie skipper and that could be a game-clinching wicket right there. Pat Cummins stays over the wicket and takes pace off this one as well, bowling it a touch fuller and pushing it well across the off stump. Rachin Ravindra has to reach out a bit and force the lofted shot but he isn't quite in control and ends up skying it toward wide long off. Marnus Labuschagne settles himself just inside the fence and takes it reverse-cup as Ravindra is left inconsolable. Cummins rejoices and so do the Australia players and rightly so too.

Slower and shorter from over the wicket and around leg stump. James Neesham nudges it off his hips behind square leg for a single.

Powerplay 3! Into the final 10 overs we go then and this game is nicely poised. New Zealand need 97 runs to win from 60 balls and the extra man allowed outside the inner ring should help Australia a bit in stemming the flow of boundaries. Let's see how this exciting run chase ends. Pat Cummins (6-0-42-0) brings himself back into the attack.

Australia know that a wicket or two here and then after that the scoreboard pressure will almost automatically do its job. Let's see which team comes out ahead at the finish line as Glenn Phillips makes his way out to the middle now.

Drinks break! This has been a good fightback by New Zealand. Glenn Phillips has led the way for them, accounting for all three wickets while the other spinners have done a good job of keeping things quiet from the other end. As far as Australia are concerned, they have not been able to keep the momentum going ever since the departure of the other two openers.

Tom Latham and New Zealand have received an official warning from the on-field umpires for the throws coming in from the deep. The umpires feel that they have been purposefully throwing it into the ground in order to soften the ball up so as to make it difficult for the batters to hit.
