Congratulations to Australia, they take the series 2-0. Mitch Marsh’s first T20I century got his side over the line with a couple of overs to spare. New Zealand kept the game alive by chipping away wickets at the other end - Jimmy Neesham finishing with 4-26 off his four overs - but ultimately Marsh’s knock hauled in a below par score from the home side.
Australia take the Chappell-Hadlee trophy 2-0. Next up they will play India at home in ODIs and T20Is before a little known Test series gets underway in November.
We’ll be here to bring you OBOs of them all, thanks for your company – goodbye.

Presentation:
No prizes for guessing who the player of the match is:
Mitchell Marsh:
It was a good one! It’s nice to win the series. We were under a bit of pressure at the end. I had a bit of luck. When you’re going like that you’ve got to keep going. I actually loved our intent with the bat. That’s how we’re playing at the moment.”
New Zealand Captain Michael Bracewell:
We just needed to take that wicket of Mitch Marsh and we could have put some real pressure on. We threw everything we could at him. Sometimes you’ve got to tip your hat.”
