Chasing a stiff target, the New Zealand openers got off to a strong start but failed to capitalise on it. At one point, the hosts were struggling at 88/3 in 19.5 overs before the Latham and Willamson came together to script a match-winning partnership.
The marathon chase was powered the stunning century from Tom Latham and the skipper Kane Williamson's undefeated 94. The duo chased the target with an unbeaten 221-run stand and go 1-0 in the series.
