NZ 183-all out (45 ovs) vs Aus | SCORECARD

Southee shuffles across and looks to pull a short ball fine on the leg side but is beaten and Johnson doesn't look too impressed with that.

He gets a single from the third ball down to long-on before Henry is again beaten outside the off-stump.

Johnson switches to round the wicket and bowls a full toss which Henry hits straight to Starc at covers to walk back for a duck.

Johnson tries a short ball to lastman Trent Boult but it slips down the leg side and is called a wide.

The last ball is again short and on the body which Boult fends on the leg side but out of nowhere Maxwell pulls out a smart run out at the non-striker's end from short midwicket as Southee is lazy to turn back and get to his crease.

New Zealand fold for a paltry 183 in 45 overs in the final for a disappointing batting performance.

The left-arm pacers did the trick for Australia claiming eight wickets for 86 runs in a combined of 26 overs between them.

Faulkner registered figures of three for 36 in 10 overs, Johnson took three for 30 and Starc bagged two for 20.

New Zealand's batting started with a horror display by McCullum at the top order as he fell for a duck in the very first over, attempting some outrageous shots against Starc even without getting his eye in.

Elliott steadied the innings somewhat with his fluent knock of 83 from 82 balls as he put on 111 runs for the fourth wicket with Taylor, who made 40.

New Zealand do have the bowling firepower but on such a good batting wicket it would take more than a miracle to stop the Australians from winning their fifth World Cup.
