Will Young stroked a masterful 130 to steer an under-strength New Zealand to a seven-wicket win over Australia in a World Cup practice match on Wednesday, outshining a classy unbeaten 89 from Steve Smith.
The visitor chased down its 278 target with 10 balls to spare, inflicting the first one-day defeat on Australia in 10 games, although this was not counted as a full international.
Young, was eventually run out after smacking 11 fours and two sixes in his 132-ball knock.
Earlier, Smith was the star attraction with his 89, including four big sixes, in only his second game in Australian colours since his one-year ban for ball-tampering expired.
He came to the crease when Shaun Marsh was out for 28 and was in fine touch in a major boost for Australia.
The scores: Australian XI 277 for six (Steve Smith 89, Usman Khawaja 56, Glenn Maxwell 52) lost to New Zealand XI 283 for three in 47.2 overs (Will Young 130, Tom Latham 69 n.o., George Worker 56).
