Champions Trophy 2017: New Zealand all out at 291 in 45 overs
Winning the toss, New Zealand team came out to bat first and went off to a good start in the power play overs, until rain interrupted the play.
Boasting on the captain Kane Williamson's ninth hundred, the black caps went past 250 easily but it was the lack of partnership after his dismissal led to the collapse of their batting.
Williamson hit eight fours and three sixes to score 100 runs from 97 balls.
Apart from him, Luke Ronchi and Ross Taylor scored 65 and 46 runs respectively.
Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood took the maximum number of wickets of the Kiwi batting with the bowling figure of 6/52 in nine overs.
