Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh smashed 103 not out to steer Australia to victory in the third T20 against New Zealand and secure a 2-0 series win.

The opener dominated the Australia innings, holding things together while wickets fell at the other end.

The visitors were chasing 157 after a reasonable batting display from New Zealand. Opener Tim Seifert top-scored with 48 from 35 balls after the top order fell to 77-4.

Late cameos from Michael Bracewell and Jimmy Neesham, who hit 26 and 25 respectively, helped the Black Caps to 156-9.

Sean Abbott was the pick of the Australia bowlers, taking 3-25, while Josh Hazlewood and Xavier Bartlett took two wickets each.

In reply, Marsh was at his dominant best and almost single-handedly sealed victory – Mitchell Owen’s 14 the second-highest score.

He finished with an unbeaten 103 off 52 balls, including eight fours and seven sixes.

The victory secures Australia a series win – having won the first T20 by six wickets, while the second had no result due to rain.
