Australia reached their victory target in the 34th over for the loss of just three wickets.

Clarke, who announced before the match that he was retiring from one-day internationals, guided his team to victory with a sparkling 74, departing to a standing ovation with Australia nine runs away from victory.

Cricket fans as always took to Twitter to express how they felt. From support for former captain Wasim Akram's Australian wife Shaneira Akram to being bored by Australia's easy win, here's how people reacted:

 

Started off with some fear

But some had other reasons for their support 

 

 

 

Others were just bored

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you really think the Kangaroos would give it to the Kiwis?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pick your side

 

 

Australia be like...
