On the back of Ross Taylor's record equaling 16th ODI hundred for NZ
followed by Trent Boult's career best figures of 6/33 saw a depleted Australia
lost the three match series and with that the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy 2-0 after
NZ batted first like the first match of the series. The difference though was
that this time the home team had won the toss.
They showed that it was the correct decision as the veteran Ross Taylor
scored a century equaling the record for most centuries ODIs by a New Zealand
player along side Nathan Astle to help the hosts post a challenging score of
281. Taylor also equaled AB de Villiers' record for most ODI centuries (14)
batting at #4.
