Main point:

This innings of Marsh was historic. Actually, in the year 2005, the first T20I match was played between Australia and New Zealand.

Delhi: If a team has caught the most dangerous rhythm apart from Team India before the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 to be held in India and Sri Lanka, then it is Australia. This team, which won the T20 World Cup four years ago, is once again coming out as a strong contender for the title. After beating England, West Indies and South Africa in the T20 series, now the Kangaroo team also dusted New Zealand in his house.

Great win under the captaincy of Mitchell Marsh

Australia defeated New Zealand by 3 wickets in the third and last T20 match with the help of captain Mitchell Marsh’s record-breaking century and also won the series 2–0. In this match, Marsh not only won the team but also broke the 20 -year -old record.

Marsh blast, won alone

In this match played in Mount Mounagoi, New Zealand scored 156 runs at the loss of 9 wickets. Chasing the target, Australia started starting to start. Of the top-6 batsmen of the team, five batsmen could score only 21 runs, but captain Mitchell Marsh held one end and beat the New Zealand bowlers vigorously. Marsh completed the first century of his T20 international career in just 50 balls. His innings included 8 fours and 7 sixes. Australia won by 3 wickets by scoring 160 runs in 18 overs, out of which 103 runs came alone with Marsh’s bat.

Ricky Ponting’s 20 -year -old record broken

This innings of Marsh was historic. In fact, in 2005, the first T20I match between Australia and New Zealand was played, in which former captain Ricky Ponting scored an unbeaten 98. After this, no Australian batsman could score such a big score against New Zealand. Now Mitchell Marsh created a new history by breaking this record after 20 years.
