James Faulkner captured two wickets in three balls to rock New Zealand‘s hopes of posting a competitive score in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 final against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. Left-arm medium pacer Faulkner had Ross Taylor brilliantly caught by wicketkeeper Brad Haddin for 40 and then bowled Corey Anderson for a duck. That left the Black Caps struggling at 150 for five in the 36th over. Watch the video here
