NZ vs AUS Match Preview
Australia come into the second game as clear favorites, having now won 11 of their last 12 T20Is, including the opener against New Zealand, courtesy of strong performances by Mitchell Marsh and their deep batting order. The Black Caps struggled to counter Australia’s pace and aggression in the first encounter, and will need a major batting turnaround to challenge the visitors. With Australia’s dominant record in recent head-to-heads, New Zealand face an uphill battle to level the series.
Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Pitch Report
The Bay Oval offers a high-scoring surface, with teams batting first averaging 190 runs. Massive totals have been posted here, including New Zealand’s 243/5 against West Indies in 2018. Chasing appears easier at this venue, as seen in the first T20I when Australia comfortably overhauled New Zealand’s total. Expect the toss-winning captain to bowl first, and the team setting the target will likely aim for above 200 to stay competitive. Spinners can contribute in the middle overs, but it’s predominantly a batsman-friendly track.
NZ vs AUS Weather Report
Considerable clouds are forecast for Mount Maunganui on Friday, with a couple of showers in the afternoon that may disrupt play. Temperatures will hover around 14°C, with humidity potentially assisting seamers early on.
