David Warner suffers bizarre dismissal as Australia thrashed by 89 runs at T20 World Cup

Defending champions Australia suffered a humiliating 89-run defeat to New Zealand in their opening T20 World Cup game, with star man David Warner dismissed in bizarre fashion.

New Zealand racked up a mammoth total of 200-3 in their innings, with Finn Allen getting his side off to a flier with 42 off just 16 balls. Devon Conway anchored the innings with a brilliant unbeaten 92 off 58, while Jimmy Neesham blasted a quick-fire 26 to finish things off in style.

Australia had been tagged as favourites heading into the tournament, but slumped to 111 all out in response. Warner was the first wicket to fall, with Tim Southee dismissing him for just five.
