New Zealand’s bid to reach the World Cup semi-finals was thrown off course after going down to their old rivals, Australia by 86 runs.
The Kiwis made a poor start of chasing 244 and were bowled out for 157, after a Trent Boult hat-trick earlier restricted Australia to 243-9, BBC reported.
Australia’s Usman Khawaja (88) and Alex Carey (71) were the only batsmen to settle for the defending champions, adding 107 for the sixth wicket.
But New Zealand struggled to build partnerships in reply as Australia strangled them with disciplined bowling. Mitchell Starc took 5-26 to lift his wicket tally in the tournament to 24.
