The Kiwis managed to hold on to a thrilling victory in the first ODI at Eden Park. Martin Guptill and Neil Broom led the way with the bat, while Trent Boult was excellent in his opening spell. Here are Zero Wicket's player ratings for the match.

Martin Guptill - 7

Set the tone with his innings at the top of the order making 61 runs. Got out to a ripper from Marcus Stoinis in the middle of his blistering spell.

Tom Latham - 7

Only managed seven runs at the crease but was excellent behind the stumps. Took three catches and stumped both Shaun Marsh and Pat Cummins with terrific glove-work.

Kane Williamson - 5

Made 24 with the bat and was unlucky to get out when an inside edge ballooned off his pad to Maxwell. Captained the side well and won the match with his quick thinking to run out Hazlewood. Although he should have wrapped up the game when he missed a guilt-edge run out chance in the overs preceding.

Ross Taylor - 4

Could only manage 16 with the bat and was bowled by part-timer Travis Head while trying to play a sweep shot.

Neil Broom - 9

Came in when wickets were tumbling for New Zealand and managed to mass 73 runs at the crease. His innings featured seven boundaries and was ultimately match-winning.

Colin Munro - 4

Failed in his innings with just two runs but took the timely wicket of James Faulkner with his part-time medium pacers.

Jimmy Neesham - 7

Was very expensive with the ball as he went for 49 runs off five overs. However, he batted well for his 48 on a wicket others struggled on, hitting six boundaries in the process.

Mitchell Santner - 7

Was tidy with the ball taking three wickets for only 44 runs off his ten overs, including one maiden. Hung around with the bat while Neesham was putting the Aussie bowlers to the sword.

Tim Southee - 3

Was expensive when he bowled, going for 63 runs off his ten overs and only picking up one wicket. Also made a duck.

Lockie Ferguson - 7

Bowled well in his fifth ODI for New Zealand taking two wickets for 44 runs off his ten overs. Got the important wicket of Maxwell.

Trent Boult - 8

The left-arm quick had an fantastic game for the Black Caps. Set the tone with the two early wickets of Aaron Finch and Travis Head. Was expensive later in the innings, but also hit 16 runs off 7 balls to push New Zealand to 286.
