'That too without Virat Kohli...': Twitter reacts as Australia complete record chase against New Zealand

Australia set a new Twenty20 run chase record of 245 Friday to beat New Zealand by five wickets in the fifth match of the T20 tri-series in Auckland. 

Australia completed the highest chase in T20I histroy thanks to  D'Arcy Short’s 44-ball 76 and David Warner’s 24-ball 59 after Martin Guptill's century has taken New Zealand to a huge total. 

The run-feast at Eden Park meant that there were many records broken on the day. Many of the social media were amazed by the events that unfolded on the pitch. 

Being a bowler at @edenparknz looks great fun!!! Flat pitch & small boundaries!!! #ausvnz

So, in this era of cricket scoring 243 in 1st inning of T20I isn't enough to win the match.

Who's responsible! Pitch or the high quality batsmen!!!#AUSVNZ #NZvAUS #AUSvsNZ

This Australian T20 team is at whole new level. Playing aggressive and fearless under the captaincy of Warner.#AUSvNZ

Two scores of 240+ in New Zealand in the last two months. Am going to put up a red flag. Flat pitches, small grounds, sixes for fun will make T20 boring. A six has to be an event not a default shot.
