Carey's knock took the game away from us,says Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson
London, June 30 (CRICKETNMORE): A 86-run defeat against Australia has put uncertainty over New Zealand's place in the knock-out stage of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 as the Black Caps have 11 points from eight games. The Kane Williamson-led side will not only have to win it's last league game but will also have to expect that host England and Pakistan lose their remaining games.
In their contest against the defending champions on Saturday, the Kiwis restricted the Aussies at 243 but failed to overhaul the target as their entire team was bundled out for 157 runs, courtesy Mitchell Starc's 5/26. The defending champions were once reeling at 92/5 but it was Usman Khwaja's 88 and a valiant 71-run knock by wicket-keeper Alex Carey which took Australia to a fighting total.
