Two quickies - New Zealand's Trent Boult and Mitchell Starc of Australia - came up with a spectacular show of pace bowling at Auckland as hosts Kiwis survived a late collapse to beat Australia by one wicket in a low-scoring thriller in the 2015 World Cup.

Chasing Australia's 151 all out, the Kiwis tripped from 131-4 to 146-9, thanks to Starc's 6-28 with Kane Williamson holding one end up for his 39. Needing six with a wicket in hand, Boult, who came in at the fall of the ninth wicket, survived two balls from Starc before Williamson hit Pat Cummins for a six down the ground to seal NZ's victory with 26.5 overs to spare.
