Australia were in no mood to mess around with their run chase and began aggressively, but it back-fired when Geoff Marsh was out clean bowled by Dilley for 1. Boon and Taylor then put on 42 for the second wicket, before Taylor was out for 27. Australia then wobbled, Allan Border out for 1, and Dean Jones out for a fourth ball duck, before ever reliable Steve Waugh joined David Boon, and the pair added the remaining 50 runs required for victory, the winning runs brought up by David Boon, who memorably swept Paul Jarvis to the square leg boundary for four to win. Boon ended on 58 not out, and Waugh, 21 not out, was yet to be dismissed in the series. Steve Waugh was named man of the match for his first innings 152*, which set up the victory when the game was evenly poised.
