The Australian rookie, Marcus Stoinis, took three wickets and scored unbeaten 146 runs. Still he fell short to pull off a win against the New Zealand. New Zealand won the first One-day match against Australia on Monday. He came to the crease with Australia reeling at 54 for five and calmly set about rebuilding after his more experienced teammates had squandered their wickets.
His 146 was a record ODI score for an Australian number seven batsman and included 11 sixes and nine fours.In just his second ODI, Stoinis took three wickets then flayed the New Zealand attack as the Australians chased a target of 287 runs at Auckland's Eden Park.
