That's it from the coverage of this game and the T20I series dominated by Australia as they win the series 3-0 against New Zealand. We will be back with more cricketing actions from across the globe and across formats in our network. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentators AkshayaKrishna Polya, and Deepak Prakash alongside scorer/analyst Vishnu Verma. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodbye and CHEERS!
Matthew Wade, the stand-in Australian captain, receives the T20I Trophy, while Mitchell Marsh, the regular Aussie skipper, collects the iconic Chappell-Hadlee Trophy as they retain it with a 3-0 clean sweep over the hosts. The squad poses for the photographs!
Matthew Wade (Australia Captain): "Yes, our bowlers were unbelievable. They executed well and bowled great. That was unbelievable execution out there. Matthew Short had a great game with the bat. Yes, I have recovered from the catch. Yes, happy with how things went for us. Great to see the depth of the squad and that will help us in building a team for the World Cup. This ground is not easy to play in. Auckland is tough. But we have had two clinical displays out there and happy with the effort from the team. Thank You."
Mitchell Santner (New Zealand Captain): "Yeah, I think so. We knew that the rain was around the corner. They played well. Big three quicks in all three games and a bit of power with the bat. They are a quality side, they showed us the power the posses throughout the series. We showed some good character; we came back well with the ball. Had it been a full game, we would loved to restrict them around 180. We couldn't soak up the pressure with the bat. The dropped catches don't help either. The depth of the squad is good, we'll have few guys coming back in. Some good stuff to take from this series, some bad stuff as well. Thanks mate!"
Mitchell Marsh (POTS): "Great to contribute to the team. Always enjoy that and to win 3-0 here. Credit to the boys. The coaching stuff makes things easier for us and the atmosphere is great in the dressing room. Coming to New Zealand, it is a tough challenge and to do well here gives confidence. Some guys did well out there especially Spencer Johnson as he got a game out there. The boys are in good shape and looking good. Well, I am not the best golfer but David Warner was before he got injured and the others are doing quite well in the golf course. So, happy with the effort."
Player of the Series: Mitchell Marsh
Matthew Short (POTM): "I am most comfortable while playing shots. It was a strange game with rain around and stop-start for three and odd times. Played plenty of shots, though. It's such a strong squad, really grateful to play with these guys. Enjoyed batting, but I was nervous with the ball in the end. Hopefully, get more games but it's such a great bunch of guys."

9.6 M Short to M Chapman
4 FOURRRRR!!! A boundary to end the context! But that doesn't change the result by any means! Australia win the series 3-0 with a 27-run (dls) win in the third and final T20I! Fires a full ball following the batter backing away. Chapman can only manage an inside edge on the attempted slog and gets it past the keeper to his right for a boundary. Australia whitewash New Zealand and retain the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy!
