Australia Team Form

Australia are coming from a win in the 1st T20I by 6 wickets. Having conceded over 200 runs in an innings 7 times in the last nine matches, the Australian bowlers definitely need to get their act together. They often leave it to the batsmen to bail the team out of trouble, after allowing the opposition to get up to a formidable total.

New Zealand Players List

Mitchell Santner (captain), Finn Allen (wicketkeeper), Trent Boult, Mark Chapman, Josh Clarkson, Devon Conway (wicketkeeper), Lockie Ferguson, Adam Milne, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Will Young.

New Zealand vs Australia Betting Odds

New Zealand fell short in the series opener despite setting a challenging target of 216 runs. Finn Allen provided a strong start, striking two boundaries and three sixes before departing. Rachin Ravindra then took charge, smashing 68 runs off 35 balls. Devon Conway also contributed with 63 runs, finding form after a slump in the test series. Despite Australia's bowlers struggling to make an impact, their batters shone. Tim David's quickfire 31, including a boundary in the final ball, secured victory. Mitchell Marsh anchored the innings with a crucial 72, steering the chase effectively. While Mitchell Santner claimed 2 wickets, other Kiwi bowlers struggled to contain the Australian onslaught. Australia claimed the victory by 6 wickets.

The absence of Kane Williamson in the Black Caps lineup for the first match will be noticeable. Trent Boult will be joining the team from the next game and will hope to change things for the side to win the next game. Mitchell Marsh was spectacular with the captaincy and managed to win in the 1st game. They, however, need to do better with their bowling unit and win the next game as well.

New Zealand vs Australia Top Batters

Mitchell Marsh to be the top batter for Australia

Marsh was the main reason with the bat that Australia won the series opener. He scored an unbeaten 72 off 44 balls to drag his side through the finish line. He struck 2 boundaries and 7 sixes in the game. He will be expected to bat well in the next game as well.

Rachin Ravindra to be the top batter for New Zealand

The young talent, Rachin Ravindra, is terrific with the bat in all formats. He averages pretty low in the format but was pretty explosive in the last game and looks to get a hang of international cricket afterall. He smashed 68 off 35 balls in the last match.

New Zealand vs Australia Top Bowlers

Pat Cummins to be the top bowler for Australia

Cummins has the ability to anchor the side from front. A versatile player, the 30-year-old contributes with both bat and ball, providing leadership and stability to the squad. He picked 1 wicket in the last game.

Lockie Ferguson to be the top bowler for New Zealand

Lockie Ferguson bowls with good pace and accuracy. He was New Zealand's best performer with the ball in the recent defeat to the Aussies. He picked 1 wicket in the last game. Anticipate another telling showing from him.
