New Zealand and Australia shared a point each after the ICC Champions Trophy match between the two teams at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Friday was abandoned due to rain.
The Blackcaps will consider themselves a little unlucky as they seemed to have the upper hand with Australia – chasing a revised target of 235 in 33 overs – reduced to 53/3 in nine overs.
Earlier, a century from captain Kane Williamson helped New Zealand to 291 before they were bowled out. Williamson notched up his ninth ODI ton as he scored exactly 100 from 97 deliveries. He was well supported by Luke Ronchi, who scored 65 from 43 balls, and Ross Taylor who fell four runs short of a fifty.
