Captain Mitchell Marsh and Tim David lead Australia to a remarkable win over New Zealand in a T20 match in Wellington.
A heroic knock from captain Mitchell Marsh and a late assault from Tim David have steered Australia towards a thrilling six-wicket victory over New Zealand in Wellington. The Australia ns, who at one stage needed 32 runs from nine balls for an unlikely win, reeled in the 216-run target on the final delivery to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
The tourists needed four runs from the last ball for victory, but David held his nerve, picking out a gap at deep mid-wicket to seal a remarkable win for Australia. It was the team’s third-highest successful run chase in T20Is. “That was incredible,” Marsh said during the post-match presentation. “That’s exactly why he’s in this team. He’s been incredible over the last two years in all T20 tournaments around the world. During the tense final over, delivered by Black Caps veteran Tim Southee, one of David’s sixes landed on the boundary rope, which proved a decisive moment
