New Zealand innings (183 all out from 45 overs)
Australia innings
2nd over: New Zealand get the early breakthough they desperately needed when Australian opener Aaron Finch went for a fifth ball duck, caught and bowled by Trent Boult. AUS: 2-1.
4th over: David Warner releases the pressure when he scores Australia's first boundary, driving Boult through the covers. AUS: 18-1.
5th over: Warner smashed the first three balls of Tim Southee's over to the rope for boundaries, signalling his intentions to attack. AUS: 33-1.
6th over: Steve Smith, who scored a century in Australia's semi-final win over India, picks up his first boundary when Boult drops one in short and he pulls him away for four. AUS: 38-1.
9th over: Matt Henry comes into the attack, replacing Daniel Vettori who bnowled just one over, and Warner pulls his first ball to fine leg for a boundary, just one bounce over the rope. AUS: 49-1.
10th over: Smith gets a single down to third man off Boult to bring up the Australian 50, then Warner smashes the next ball, a full toss, for four to bring up the 50 partnership in the last over of the first powerplay. AUS: 56-1.
13th over: New Zealand strike again, getting rid of the dangerous Warner for 45, caught by Grant Elliott in the deep off Henry after getting a top edge. Australian captain Michael Clarke comes to the crease in his last ODI. AUS: 63-2.
14th over: Clarke gets off the mark with a leading edge off Boult that went between two fielders for three. AUS: 68-2.
