After suffering through back-to-back defeats, Australia beat trans-Tasman rival New Zealand by 5 runs in ICC Cricket World Cup.

Australia scored a total of 388 runs over 49.9 overs while New Zealand 386 runs over 50 overs. Heavy defeats to India and South Africa to start their campaign added to the uncertainty.

They appear to be peaking at the ideal time after three convincing victories and the confidence gained from winning a thrilling final over match.

In another match last night, Netherlands beat Bangladesh by 87 runs.

England plays India at 8.30 tonight.
