Australia have retained the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy after a superb bowling effort, defending 174 for a 72-run win at Eden Park that clinches the three-game T20 series.
Sent in by Kiwi skipper Mitchell Santner, Australia's total appeared well under par for the diminutive Auckland ground.
Only Travis Head (45 off 22) and Pat Cummins (28 off 22), in at eight to steady the ship, impressed with the bat on Friday night.
