“Hah nah you have a habit of picking up stuff after a while,” Neesham wrote back to Maxwell with a picture of the New Zealand team with the series trophy.
During the third T20I, Maxwell played a 70-run knock to help his side to victory.
In the first delivery at Wellington Regional Stadium, the Australian cricketer hit a ball towards the backward point region.
For the second delivery, Maxwell threw the ball over the square leg for a six. The ball was hit so hard that Maxwell broke a seat in the stand. He followed it up with three consecutive fours and finished the over with another six.
Knock gave Australia a target of 209 runs, and they won the match by 64 runs. Despite the win, Maxwell ended up losing in the series and Neesham was part of the New Zealand squad. The hosts won the decisive match by seven wickets.
While both were teammates in the IPL last season, this year they will go up against each other.
