Perth: A brilliant bowling display guided Australia to an emphatic 296-run victory over New Zealand in the first affair of the three-match Test rubber at the Perth Stadium here on Sunday. Setting a mammoth target of 468 runs before the Kiwis, the hosts rode Mitchell Starc (4-45), Nathan Lyon (4-63) and Pat Cummins' (2-31) superb bowling effort to skittle out their opponents at just 171 runs as the contest ended within four days of play.
Chasing the huge target, the visitors never looked in control and were jolted at regular intervals as the Kiwi batters failed to develop any big partnership and succumbed before the Aussie bowling attack.
