David Warner scored a double century in the first innings while Alex Carey also scored a century to take their side to a mammoth total. 

The hosts then bundled out the opposition on 204 and scripted an easy win with bowlers hitting the right areas. Nathan Lyon scalped four wickets from both innings while Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc scalped three wickets each. However, Cameron Green did the early damage, registering a five-wicket haul in the first innings.
