Australia vs New Zealand
Fifth ODI
After being thrashed in the first match by Australia at Faridabad, New Zealand were looking to rack up a huge total at Pune.
But their hopes were severely dented with fast bowler Brad Williams claiming four wickets in the first 8 overs of the match.
The Kiwis would have been in even deeper trouble if Ian Harvey had held on to a sharp chance from Kiwi skipper Stephen Fleming.
In the 20th over, Fleming tried to turn a good length delivery, pitched on middle and leg, to the leg side and only managed to get a leading edge back to the bowler. The ball hit the finger tips of Harvey before bouncing away towards mid-on.
Fleming, then on 18, survived and so did New Zealand's hopes.
