Marsh gets presented the Chappell-Hadlee trophy from Sir Richard Hadlee. Australia are 2-0 winners. They now have a couple of weeks off before facing India at home in ODIs and T20Is. New Zealand face England in T20Is and ODIs coming up. Thanks for your company for this series. Hope to see you again soon.

11.25pm Presentation

Michael Bracewell: "We just needed to take that wicket of Mitch Marsh and we could have put some real pressure on. We threw everything we could at him. Sometimes you've got to tip your hat."

Player of the match and series is Mitchell Marsh: "It was a good one. Nice to win the series. We were under a bit of pressure at the end. I had a bit of luck. When you're going like that you've got to keep going. I actually loved our intent with the bat. That's how we're playing at the moment. "

11.15pm Australia win the series 2-0. Marsh now has centuries in all three forms. That was one of his best for Australia under pressure. He was playing a different sport to everyone else on both sides on that pitch. Jimmy Neesham gave New Zealand a chance with four wickets but it was Marsh's game and he took it away from New Zealand.

Simon Andersson: "Is Marsh's innings the highest proportion of a teams total in T20I matches?" Not even for Australia. Aaron Finch has that record for Australia with 172 out of 229 against Zimbabwe.

Marsh joins Shane Watson, Glenn Maxwell, David Warner, and Josh Inglis with hundreds in all forms among Australian men.
