Kane Williamson has said that he knew he had to look for the boundary to secure New Zealand's win over Australia at the Cricket World Cup earlier.
The Black Caps were chasing a total of 152 for victory, but had just a wicket in hand when Williamson struck the winning runs, with final batsman Trent Boult having just come to the crease at the opposite end.
Williamson told The AP: "I was looking to hit a boundary, ideally a six. After what Starc did at the other end, for the new batsman coming in it was obviously quite tough so trying to get a boundary away was the plan.
"To be honest, I thought [the final ball] was going to be a bit shorter but when it was up there it was nice to get the ball in that area and connect and hit it for six. It was great to win and that's what Trent and I were trying to do.
"Obviously Australia made it tough for us but we fought all the way through and every little partnership counted."
The result leaves New Zealand at the top of Pool A, with wins from all four of their matches so far.
