At the start, Tim Southee broke the Aaron Finch (14) defence and dealt the first blow for the Australians. David Warner (34) and unndefiring Shane Watson (23) forged a 50-run stand before veteran left-arm spinner dismissed the latter with the scoreboard reading 80/2 in 13 overs.
In the first ball of the next over, Southee then removed Warner who was looking settled. After losing the third wicket, Australia failed to recover.
Vettori compounded their problem as he dismissed in-form Steven Smith (4) before Boult dealt a double blow in the forms of Glenn Maxwell (1) and Mictchell Marsh (0).
Skipper clark (12), playing his first match after recovering from an ankle injury, could not contribute much as he offered a catch to Kane Williamson off Boult to leave the team reeling at 104/7.
Left-armer Boult removed Mitchell Johnson (1) and Micthell Starc (0) to take his first five-wicket haul in One-Day International (ODI) cricket.
