World-record performance as Kiwis beat Aussies in cliffhanger

A Scott Styris century and a whirlwind 50 by Brendon McCullum steered New Zealand to a shock two-wicket victory over Australia in a world record one-day cricket performance at Jade Stadium here on Saturday.
New Zealand's 332 for eight was the highest winning score by the team batting second in the international history of the limited-over game, and was achieved with an over to spare.
A single to captain Daniel Vettori off the last ball of the 49th over, which cost Australian bowler Mick Lewis 20 runs, sealed victory and eclipsed the previous world best run chase of 330 for seven set by Australia against South Africa in 2002. Although Australia still win the Chappell-Hadlee series 2-1, New Zealand ended a record-equalling seven-match home losing streak.
