†AUSTRALIA v NEW ZEALAND 1980-81

At Sydney, January 21. No result. After Australia had won the toss, only a fine innings by Man of the Match Greg Chappell, helped by Border in a second-wicket stand of 88, took them as far as 180. It started to rain shortly after New Zealand had begun their innings. The result of the match was, in any event, academic, the two sides having already made sure of their place in the final.
