New Zealand vs Australia 1st T20I Live Cricket Score: New Zealand face Australia in the first T20I encounter in Wellington on Wednesday in the three-match series.

The Black Caps and Australia last met in a T20 series three years ago, with hosts New Zealand winning 3-2. (Scorecard)
The Australia tour of New Zealand begins with the first match of the series taking place in Wellington. It would be an intriguing sight for the Australian captain Mitchell Marsh who is set to lead Pat Cummins, his captain in the Test and the ODI format. New Zealand will be without the services of Kane Williamson for the series, having taken a paternity leave. But, the Kiwis did receive a boost in the form of Trent Boult who was available for the series. Spin-bowling all-rounder Mitchell Santner will be leading the New Zealand side in the absence of Williamson.
Ahead of the T20I series against New Zealand, Australia T20I captain Mitchell Marsh revealed the team's top batting order. Marsh revealed that the top three spots are "pretty much set," with him batting third and Travis Head and David Warner beginning the innings. These established three have demonstrated exceptional cooperation and performance in previous years, leaving little space for uncertainty regarding their responsibilities in the upcoming World Cup. And considering Glenn Maxwell's recent success at number four, including a memorable 120 from 55 balls against the West Indies and Tim David's steady contributions at six in the same T20I campaign, Australia's top order appears to be well established ahead of the World Cup in June.
A fan grabbed all the headlines for his non-chalant catch during the third and final T20I between Australia and West Indies in Perth on Tuesday. The fan took the catch with one hand despite holding a glass on his other one. The incident occurred in the 16th over of West Indies innings as Spencer Johnson bowled a bouncer to Sherfane Rutherford, who played a hook shot for a maximum over fine leg. Despite holding a drink on his other hand, the man took the catch without spilling it.
Andre Russell and Sherfane Rutherford put on the biggest sixth-wicket partnership in a T20I to steer the West Indies past Australia by 37 runs in their third and final clash on Tuesday. Both men crunched quickfire half-centuries to propel the visitors to 220-6 in Perth with Australia managing just 183-5 in reply, David Warner top-scoring on 81 in his last appearance for Australia at home. The hosts won the first match in Hobart by 11 runs and sealed the series with a 34-run victory at Adelaide.

West Indies batter Alzarri Joseph survived despite being run out in a bizarre incident during the second T20I match against Australia in Adelaide on Sunday. During the 19th over of the West Indies innings, Joseph went for a quick single but the throw from Mitchell Marsh was extremely quick and the bowler Spencer Johnson dislodged the bails with the batter short of the crease. However, the batter was not given out as none of the Australian players including the bowler appealed for it. Marsh started celebrating after the replay was shown on the big screen but the umpire did not change his decision.
Glenn Maxwell slammed a sensational century to equal India skipper Rohit Sharma's world record during the second T20I encounter against West Indies in Adelaide on Sunday. This was Maxwell's fifth century in the shortest format of the sport and he became only the second batter ever after Rohit to achieve the massive feat. Maxwell looked in supreme form as he scored 120 off 55 deliveries with the help of 12 boundaries and 8 sixes. The knock was filled with exciting shots and thanks to his blistering innings, Australia posted their highest T20I total against West Indies - 241/4 in 20 overs.
