AUS vs NZ 2nd Match CB Series 2007 : Aussies beat Kiwis by two wickets

Jan 22, 2007

New Zealand blew a golden opportunity to upset Australia when the home side won their triangular series one-day international by two wickets at the Sydney Cricket Ground yesterday.
Michael Clarke's 75, batting at number three, and Mike Hussey's cool head (65 not out) at the finish, enabled Australia to scramble to victory with eight balls to spare and remain unbeaten in the series, making 224 for eight from 48.4 overs in reply to New Zealand's 218. New Zealand had a great chance to finally break the shackles of recent Australian domination when they had the home side 17 for three early in their chase.
