Australia win historic day-night Test match
The day-night Test match, the first of its kind, was an experiment by the ICC, the sport's international governing body to popularise Test cricket to the viewers, who over the past decade have shown more interest towards the shorter versions of the game (ODI and T20).
Winning the toss and electing to bat first, the Kiwi's put on 202 runs in their first innings, in a match that proved a tad difficult for the batsmen.
After Australia were bowled out for 224 in their first innings, New Zealand could manage only 208 in their ensuing innings, setting up 187 runs for the hosts to chase and win the match.
Australia won it with 3 wickets to spare, thus winning the series 2-0.
