Maxwell stars, restrict New Zealand to 232 with four wickets

Glenn Maxwell took four wickets with a brilliant catch at Chappell-Hadlee in Cairns. In the first half of the ODIas New Zealand. Could only manage 232 runs for 9 wickets for which 10 overs had been promised.

A venue hosting international cricket was hard to judge. For the net worth with both captains referring to “unknown” conditions. For the first time since 2004, on what appeared to be a rough surface. To find the time, but New Zealand’s Pass will be disappointed with the number of batsmen. Who have not been able to convert initially.

Maxwell three times in his third and final spell

Devon Conway, Kane Williamson and Tom Latham all worked hard to come into the 40s before falling into the spin. The latter two hitting Maxwell three times in his third and final spell. Maxwell finished with the second-best figures of his ODI career. And was 60 for 6 in 10 overs for New Zealand, three wickets also taken by Josh Hazlewood.

After New Zealand were included, Martin Guptill was caught out by Mitchell Starc on the last ball of the opening over. Which was quickly reviewed and replays showed he had hit his pads.

However, Guptill could not score runs – the six he scored came off the first two balls of the game – as he was tied up by Hazlewood and Starc, who both bowled maidens. Then, Guptill had got a rough outside edge at the back in the fifth over. Where Maxwell pulled off his brilliant fielding, diving full length to his left to grab an opportunity he was destined to avoid. .

Maxwell in the 10th and after the opening powerplay

The spin was on in Adam Zampa’s ninth over and then by Maxwell in the 10th and after the opening powerplay, New Zealand’s top order had soaked up 50 dots.

Conway’s early caution is beginning to be rewarded, as he dances to take Cameron Green to cover for six. When he sweeps in Zampa and was lbw, he had given himself an excellent foundation, which review called for three reads.
