On Friday, the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) witnessed a funny thing after the first ODI between Australia and New Zealand which ended with a thumping win for the hosts. However, there was no presenter after the match finished and the match presentation was done by the spider cam!

Former Australia international Brendon Julian was talking to home captain Aaron Finch from a distance of 100 metres using the big camera while Aaron Finch (60), who provided his team with a solid opening platform along with David Warner (67), said that he thought 250 was a good total to defend on the wicket as well.

“I thought 250 was a good total. Our bowlers bowled really well. The opening partnership was nice. We both had our challenges adjusting to the slowness of the wicket. You had to pick up the balls you wanted to go through with,” he said.

Australia then put up 258 for 7 after Finch won the toss and chose to bat and then bowled out Kane Williamson led New Zealand for 187 in 41 overs. Opener Martin Guptill was the highest scorer for New Zealand (40) but they were not comfortable in the chase. Mitchell Marsh was picked as the man of the match for scoring 27 runs and taking three crucial wickets for 29 runs. Pat Cummins also took three wickets for 25.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, who got out by a stunning delivery from leg-spinner Adam Zampa, said that the wicket was tough to chase. However, he praised Australia’s opening partnership as well as the bowling performance as well.

“With their top-class bowling, they were always going to make it challenging. For us, it was about small margins. We have to bowl better lines. It looked like a slow surface, and might offer help for the spinners, which our spinners did very well.” Kane Williamson said.
