Australia find a way to win

Alex Carey scored a magnificent unbeaten 98 to drive Australia to victory over New Zealand by three wickets in a tense conclusion to the second Test in Christchurch yesterday, sealing a 2-0 series sweep for the visitors.

Wicketkeeper Carey combined with Mitchell Marsh in a match-winning partnership of 140 for the sixth wicket and then teamed up with captain Pat Cummins as Australia chased down their 279-run victory target before tea on day four. 

“It was pretty tense,” said Cummins, who scored 32 not out and hit the winning runs with a four to the point boundary. 

“I think the story of this series was in key moments, someone stood up and made themselves a match-winner so yeah, keep finding ways to win. It’s a pretty awesome squad.” — Reuters.
