    What's the story

    Skipper Mitchell Marsh scored a brilliant half-century as Australia defeated New Zealand by six wickets in the opening T20I in Wellington.

    While several Aussie batters threw away their starts, Marsh returned unbeaten, having scored 72 off 44 balls (2 fours, 7 sixes).

    Here are his stats.

    Alongside Tim David (31*), he added 44 runs in the last three overs as Australia crossed the line on the final delivery.
