Guptill continues resurgence to blow Australia away in series decider

A powerful batting performance from Martin Guptill helped New Zealand take out the fifth match against Australia.

Chasing 143 to win, New Zealand’s openers raced out of the blocks to set up a seven-wicket victory that sealed a 3-2 series win for the hosts. Guptill and Devon Conway put on 106 runs for New Zealand’s opening stand in just 11.5 overs. It was Guptill who dominated the partnership, with Conway happy to give the big-hitting veteran the bulk of the strike. Guptill smashed 71 runs off 46 balls in his Player of the Match performance, hitting four sixes and seven fours before falling to Jhye Richardson (1/19) with victory in sight.

New Zealand win the game and the series

Under mounting pressure heading into the series due to a run of low scores, the 34-year-old finished the campaign with an average of 43.60 and strike rate of 159.12. He was the highest run-scorer in the series, with 218 runs from his five innings. Guptill was the third batsman to fall for New Zealand but by that stage victory looked assured. The Black Caps were cruising at the 11-over mark but two wickets in two balls from fast-bowler Riley Meredith opened the door momentarily for Australia. Meredith (2/39) had Conway caught for 36 in the 12th over and with his next delivery trapped Kane Williamson in front for a golden duck. Glenn Phillips ensured there would be no more wobbles however, smashing an unbeaten 34 off 16 to wrap up the match.
