Wicketkeeper-batter Devon Conway smashed an unbeaten 92 to beat defending champions Australia by 89 runs on Saturday
The 31-year-old left-handed opener played some sublime shots as he held the New Zealand innings together in a 58-ball knock
He hit seven fours and two sixes and took new Zealand to an imposing 200 for three after they were sent in to bat first
Also, not to forget the explosive start given by rising T20 star Finn Allen as he hammered a sensational 16-ball 42
In reply, Kiwi pacer Tim Southee (2.1-0-6-3) set the tone early on before left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner (4-0-31-3) foxed the Aussies with his clever variation to make it a lopsided contest
The New Zealanders were relentless in attack as Australia folded for 111 in 17.1 overs to suffer their second-heaviest T20I defeat in terms of runs
This was also Australia’s first defeat to New Zealand in Australia in any format since 2011. The Aussies lost half of their side in 10.2 overs after the talented Tim David (11) became Santner’s third victim
However, he failed to complete his maiden century in the format with Jimmy Neesham (26 not out; 13 balls) taking most of the strike at the death to push the total to 200 with a six off the final ball by Josh Hazlewood
