Stuart Clark claimed his best figures in a one-day international as Australia bowled out New Zealand for 218 on a good batting wicket in Sydney.
Here are the Live Scores.
In match five of the CB Series also featuring England, Craig McMillan's muscular innings of 89 was the best score by a Kiwi batsman by a distance.
Clark took 4-54, Glenn McGrath 3-24 and Brett Lee, expensive late on, 2-45.
New Zealand were in dire straits at 136-7 in the 37th over before rallying through McMillan and James Franklin.
Though Franklin made just 18, he contributed to a partnership of 57 from 39 balls.
McGrath accounted for both men - Franklin swatting a short ball to deep square leg and McMillan hitting a full toss back to the bowler.
McMillan's wicket was a controversial one. The delivery looked above waist height when it reached the batsman and should have been called a no-ball.
It was nonetheless sweet revenge for McGrath, who had attracted an edge off McMillan's bat with the right-hander on one - only for umpire Asad Rauf to rule not out.
Nathan Bracken wrapped up the innings in the 48th over, bowling last man Michael Mason with a full-pitched delivery.
