Australia have uncovered a potential weakness in the game of Kane Williamson which has quelled the influence of New Zealand's batting dynamo in the one day series. 
Williamson is yet to stamp his mark on the Chappell-Hadlee series, which heads into its deciding game on Monday in Hamilton, after destroying Australia in the Test series in   November.
The Australians have now had Williamson caught three times in a row driving, the latest coming on Saturday when leg-spinner Adam Zampa dismissed him on debut.
Australia's bowlers changed their strategy against Williamson leading into the day-night Test in Adelaide by bowling less at his stumps and probing more around off. They have shifted their focus even wider outside off this series with great effect.
"I did my research a little bit against these players and tried to just stick to my plans," Zampa said.
"Luckily it worked, I tried to get Williamson driving."
Williamson denied he had been figured out, saying his dismissal on the weekend was the product of the need to pick up the scoring rather than proof of a weakness.
Meanwhile, Western Australia's Joel Paris comes into the squad as cover after paceman Kane Richardson was sent home early for further tests on his back injury.
Australia are aiming to stretch their unbeaten run of series victories to eight.
