But Mills and Newzeland veteran spin bowler Vettori showed the real fighting spirit at the end of the innings. Mills hit 4 consecutive sixes of Brad Hoggs over, But unfortunately in a terrible mix up Vettori was run out by the brilliant fielding of skipper Ricky Ponting, After that the remaining work was done by the veteran Glen Mcgrath As he bowled out the injured Chris Harris with a beautiful Yorker. Australia won the match by 18 runs.
