now bowling out the part timers seems a good decision.

Would be tempted to sneak in a couple more part time overs here

australia's part timers apart from finch bowler pretty well it has to be said. Its just harder with 2 part timers at each end. So many of stoinis' wickets have been earnt through pressure at the other end

this game they have a different roll. Don't lose the game so the main strikers can finish the job. Any wickets or dots are bonus

lyon back on. Australia still with 4 overs from their 5th but in a decent position

wonder if its worth sneaking in a 5th bowler here

good tight over from maxwell nearly got a wicket

cummins delivers! HUGE wicket! They've taken 4 in the first 33

Australia favourites now you think

we now have scoreboard pressure too

Just bowl a couple more part time overs and we can finish with our main bowlers

forgot to add

maxwell nearly with a screamer run out. Direct hit nearly broke the game open but he's home

Australia to bowl out their fifth bowler with smith on. Good decision

even better! 1st ball smith gets a wicket!

Australia WAY ahead now

australia's record when they are 4 for less then 50 is amazing

new zealand got way better bowling and batting conditions

this will be a huge win if we pull it off

only 2 off the smith over plus a wicket

I reckon we bowl max/stoinis at the other end. NZ forced to be watchful then we can finish with our strike bowlers

our control, even from the part timers (apart from finch) has been incredible

barely any wides whatsover, no long hops, beautiful line and lengths

Can you give the man of the match to a batter who scores under 10 and bowled poorly?

Finch's captaincy spot on

120 needed off the last 15. With 7 wickets in hand thats a 50-50 prospect. With only 5 on a difficult pitch and the part timers nearly bowled out its near impossible

tight over from maxwell great control

Thats 8 from the part timers. I'd not bowl any more until the death with stoinis if the game goes that far

smith with a screamer off starc!!!

no need for the 5th bowler now unless it goes deep. Try and bowl them out

smith warner and maxwell in the ring. How many runs do they save and wickets do they force?

With so many tight games for australia this world cup, their fielding has really been crucial

is that the best infield in world cricket since we had ponting and symmonds?

Australia's only weakness really are their 3 all rounders

but its not much of a weakness, Stoinis has bowled at under 30 and his 20 today was a crucial twenty, way more than it looked. Maxwell turns the game in the field, turned the game around with the ball against sri lanka and tends to keep things tight. With the bat he hasn't been his best (though not as bad as stoinis) but has turned some ordinary finishes by Australia into decent finishes with some power hitting. Carey has let chances go but boy what a revelation his batting has been this cup!

Its not our best team ever but its a good team with everyone doing their job. If our 3 all rounders can just lift 5-10% we will be very tough to beat

asking rate nearly 10

lyon takes one. Gee he's bowled beautifully the last few games

With Stoinis and Maxwell bowling good enough for a 5th I'm excited about our entire attack

what a difference dorf and lyon make to this squad

India see out Starc and Cummins and there is not much to come

NZ see out our openers and it just gets harder

warner SO close to another screamer!

starc as bankable as they come

commentators blaming NZ captaincy for NZs loss today saying they shouldn't have brought on their part timers when oz were 5-90

Bit harsh I think, Oz bowled out their part timers at the same stage of the match. 

poor lyon bowled beautifully all day just got hit for 6 by the number 11!

now carey too busy saying "aww! " to look at the ball gives away 4 byes
