Australia looked unbeatable after Matthew Hayden’s brutal 181, the highest individual ODI score by an Australian at the time, scored despite a broken toe. With 10 sixes and fearless hitting, Hayden powered Australia to an enormous total and seemed to have sealed the match. But New Zealand had other ideas. At 41 for 4, the game appeared over — until Craig McMillan unleashed one of the most destructive ODI innings ever played by a New Zealander. His 117 off 96 balls, including 13 fours and 5 sixes, featured a blistering 67-ball century, the fastest by a Kiwi at that time. Alongside Brendon McCullum, he added a match-defining 165-run partnership. Even after McMillan fell with 66 still required, the drama wasn’t done. With 7 needed from the final over and only one wicket left, Brendon McCullum smashed a six and four to seal an unforgettable victory. His unbeaten 86 showed composure under immense pressure. This match completed Australia’s first ODI series whitewash since 1997, exposed serious bowling concerns ahead of the World Cup, and delivered New Zealand one of their greatest ODI triumphs ever. A match where 181 wasn’t enough, pressure meant nothing, and history was rewritten. #ausvsnz #cricketmax #thriller #highlights #kiwis
