The
pair
came
together
at
the
crease
with
the
hosts
on
44-5
inside
a
dozen
overs
following
a
blistering
start
from
left-arm
quick
Trent
Boult.
But
wicketkeeper
Carey
(85)
and
all-rounder
Green
(89
not
out)
turned
the
tables
on
the
Black
Caps,
their
sixth-wicket
alliance
proving
pivotal
as
Australia
went
in
pursuit
of
New
Zealand’s
232-9
and
found
an
extra
gear.
It
marked
a
fine
recovery
for
Aaron
Finch’s
side
against
the
top-ranked
50-over
side
in
world
cricket.
Having
won
the
toss
and
put
the
tourists
in
to
bat
at
Cazalys
Stadium,
Australia
looked
like
they
could
rue
the
decision
after
Devon
Conway
(46)
and
Kane
Williamson
(45)
helped
New
Zealand
to
91-1.
The
visitors
did
not
quite
take
off
after
that
partnership
broke
up,
but
they
still
looked
in
the
ascendancy,
particularly
when
Boult
claimed
the
scalps
of
Finch
(5),
Steve
Smith
(1)
and
Marnus
Labuschagne
(0).
Yet
Carey
and
Green,
both
omitted
from
Australia’s
T20
World
Cup
squad,
rallied
with
a
sublime
effort
to
spin
the
match
on
its
head.
Although
Carey’s
dismissal
sparked
a
nervy
finale,
they
still
had
enough
to
get
over
the
line.
Maxwell
keeps
Black
Caps
at
bay
Crucial
to
Australia’s
success
was
Glenn
Maxwell,
who
went
for
more
runs
than
any
other
bowler
in
the
side
but
took
four
crucial
wickets.
It
makes
him
just
the
third
spinner
to
achieve
the
feat
against
New
Zealand
in
ODI
cricket
for
the
Baggy
Greens,
after
Shane
Warne
and
Brad
Hogg.
Williamson’s
half-century
drought
continues
It
was
so
near
and
yet
so
far
for
New
Zealand
skipper
Williamson,
who
just
fell
short
of
the
50
mark
again
for
his
country.
He
has
not
scored
an
international
half-century
in
2022,
a
concern
perhaps
for
the
captain
with
the
T20
World
Cup
looming.
