The duo dealt in boundaries from the word go and mustered 118/0 at the end of 1st powerplay. Both the batters also completed their respective half-centuries, with Head taking just 25 balls to reach the milestone. Warner too was not far behind as he took 28 balls to do the same. The pair added 175-run for the opening stand before Glenn Phillips got rid of Warner for 81(65). Shortly after he cleaned up Head for 109(67).
Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh failed to carry forward the momentum, handing New Zealand an opportunity of a late recovery. However, a blitz by Glenn Maxwell once again shifted the momentum towards Australia and thereafter Pat Cummins and Josh Inglish kept hitting boundaries at will. Maxwell fell for 41(24), Inglish scored 38(28), while Cummins hammered 37 in just 14 balls.
