A fighting half-century by batter Steve Smith and fifer by spinner Adam Zampa helped Australia clinch a 113-run win over New Zealand in the second ODI of three-match series on Thursday. With this victory, Australia has clinched the series 2-0. New Zealand will be really disappointed after losing this series despite having the upper hand over Aussie in both matches.

Put to bat first by New Zealand, Australia's top order failed them once again as David Warner (5), captain Aaron Finch (0), Marnus Labuschagne (5) and Marcus Stoinis (0) were dismissed for single digits. The pace duo of Matt Henry and Trent Boult were extremely unplayable with the new ball, reducing the hosts to 26/4 in 8.3 overs. Wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey was also back in the hut for just 12 runs, breaking his 28-run stand with Steve Smith that helped Australia cross the 50-run mark. Half of Aussies' batting line-up was in the pavilion for 54 runs.
