AUS v NZ, 5th ODI, Brisbane: Australia retain Chappell-Hadlee trophy after washout (AUS 2:2)
Feb 13, 2009
A washed out Gabba in Brisbane has denied New Zealand a maiden ODI series win in Australia.
Brad Haddin (88) had given Ricky Ponting's team a chance after guiding them to 168-4 from 22 overs, with Martin Guptill (64 not out) looking to ease the tourists past their target.
But the hosts retain the Chappell-Hadlee trophy owing to their 2-0 series win in 2007 after umpires Steve Bucknor and Rod Tucker pulled the plug when the heavens opened.
New Zealand had been set a target of 156 off 20 overs but torrential rain saw them stopped short at 123-6 off 14 overs with the series poised at 2-2.
As they had not reached the prerequisite 20 overs the Duckworth-Lewis rule could not be applied, granting the series win to the Aussies.
