Chasing 172, the man in red-hot form- David Warner yet again rose on to the magnanimity of the occasion to notch-up a brilliant half-century (53 off 36) alongside Mitchell Marsh-who stole the show with an unbeaten 77* off 50 deliveries and stood akin the two strong Aussie pillars who just did not let the Kiwi pacers to even hand them an innocuous bruise towards their journey onto the chase.

Earlier, before his side’s fixture against Pakistan in the semi-finals of the just concluded World Cup, the Aussie skipper Aaron Finch had exclaimed that he had no doubt whatsoever regarding Warner’s form, and that it is being blown out of proportion just on the basis of a few poor performances in the recently concluded IPL.
