Adam Gilchrist and Darren Lehmann provided the runs as Australia squeezed past never-say-dic New Zealand by 17 runs to send the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy cricket series into a deader at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
Gilchrist clobbered 60 off 48 balls and Lehmann with a spirited 52 ensured the Australian total reached what looked an unassailable 261 for seven. But the Kiwis went down fighting for their total of 244 off 47.1 overs.
The result levelled the best-of-threc scries and took it to a decider at the Gabba in Brisbane on Friday.
The Australians, who relinquished a flying start in Melbourne to lose the opening game by four wickets on Sunday, had the Kiwis on the ropes but the Black Caps refused to give in with a record ninth-wicket stand of 70 between Kyle Mills and
* Daniel Vcttori.
Even when Vcttori was run out with New Zealand 25 runs short Chris Harris came out to bat with an injured shoulder and a runner to keep the Kiwis in with a chance.
Mills smacked four sixes and a four in a defiant unbeaten 44 off 26 balls to give the Kiwis an outside hope of an incredible come-from-behind win before Harris was bowled by Glenn McGrath for four.
It was just New Zealand’s fourth defeat in 24 GDIs this year.
Gilchrist earlier gave the Australians a rip-roaring start with an 86-run opening stand with Matthew Hayden (43) at around seven runs an over. But the Kiwis pegged back the home side with 4-8 in the middle of the innings.
Lehmann came to Australia's aid with a spirited 52 off 77 balls in a 74-run seventh-wicket stand with Brad Hogg to revive the scoring rate to five runs an over.
Hogg hit a sprightly 41 off 53 balls and Brett Lee clipped 10 off five as they added 26 in the last couple of overs.
The Kiwis, requiring a hefty 5.24 runs an over, lost Nathan Astle when he edged fiery Brett Lee to Gilchrist for 11 in the sixth over.
Mathew Sinclair fell to a great slips catch by Hayden off Jason Gillespie for 17 leaving the Kiwis at 63 for two in the 14th over.
Scott Styris was furious when given out lbw in Andrew Symonds' next over for five as the Aussies
tightened the screws.
Left-arm spinner Hogg, who finished man-of-the-match with 3-45, struck with the first ball of his first over trapping Stephen Fleming lbw for 34 and he extravagantly celebrated the key wicket with a triple arm pump.
Fleming's departure after 92 minutes left the Black Caps at 78 for four in the 20th over and with their run-rate slipping to four an over.
Hogg got another scalp in his next over, trapping Jacob Oram lbw

for two to bring big-hitting Chris Cairns to the wicket.
Lee came on for a new spell and comprehensively bowled Melbourne man-of-the-match Hamish Marshall with his first delivery for nine to have the Kiwis up against it at 86 for six in the 23 rd over.
Cairns kept New Zealand’s hopes flickering with a run-a-minute half-century in a 68- run partnership with wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum before he hit Gillespie to McGrath at long-on.
His 50 came off 40 balls with four boundaries and two sixes, leaving the Kiwis at 154 for seven in the 35th over.
McCullum fell to a dubious lbw decision for 21 giving Hogg his third wicket of the innings.
Mills hit four successive sixes, two off Lehmann and two off Hogg's next over to raise Kiwi hopes of a last-ditch winning partnership.
Mills put on a record ninthwicket stand of 70 with Daniel Vettori before Vettori was run out by Ponting for 33.
Harris came out to bat with a runner after damaging his shoulder while fielding earlier in the day. The experienced all-rounder is expected to return home onThursday.
Gilchrist, who cracked 68 off 54 balls in Melbourne, dominated the opening partnership with the circumspect Hayden as the runs
flowed at nine an over early on.
But the Kiwis got the prized wicket when Gilchrist attempted to pull Scott Styris over the ropes, only to find Astle at deep square leg.
Four wickets fell for eight runs, plunging the Australians to 148 for five after being 86 without loss. Michael Clarke only lasted 17 balls before he was caught behind by McCullum off Cairns.
Lehmann was smartly run out by Styris after ending his 98-minute knock with five boundaries. Hogg took up the fight and gleaned a further 15 runs as Australia pushed their total past 260.
Mills was the best of the Kiwi bowlers with 2-49 off 10 overs, while Styris claimed 1 -37 off 10 overs.
