#1 Guptill hits first ton against Australia
Trending
Martin Guptill has always been New Zealand's trump card in ODI cricket. The opener has the second highest individual score in ODIs and is a big hitter. He has the ability to hit through the line on any pitch and against any pace and used that to fill effect today.
His feet were dancing and he stepped out more than once to the seamers. To his credit, he was least perturbed by the dismissal of Latham and Williamson and carried on with Neesham in terrific style. He showed a tendency to hit the ball on the up and play lofted shots in this innings, clearing the ropes as many as 6 times in his 102 ball 114.
While he was at the crease, New Zealand were still in with a chance to chase down the huge score. Once Guptill was dismissed after scoring his first ever hundred against Australia in ODIs, the Kiwis chase floundered.
