New Zealand vs Australia 2nd T20I Match: The last match was very competitive and amazing because the match went to the last ball of the high-scoring match in which Australia won by 6 wickets.

New Zealand needs to back themselves in the next match because, in the last match, they did almost everything right except bowling in the end phase of the match. In the last over, Southee needed to defend 16 runs, but Tim David hit four in the last ball when the team needed four runs. The batting unit of Blackcaps did very well in which Conway and Ravindra scored 60+ runs, but the bowling unit needs to improve themselves in the next match.

Eden Park, Auckland, has been one of the high-scoring grounds in the T20I format, in which the highest score is 245, which is amazing batting, and even the 1st inning average is 173.3, which is highly considered in the T20I format. The pace bowlers will get the early swing but must pitch in the right area. If they miss, even a little batter can punish them easily.

Team Preview Of Australia

Australia will also be backing itself in the next match, but they need to improve their bowling efforts because, in the last match, they gave too many runs. There is a chance that they might replace Adam Zampa with a pace bowler because he went for a lot of runs in the last match.

Important players for the Australia Team in the match against New Zealand

1- David Warner will have the last year of his cricketing career as he has already retired from ODI and Test. Now it is the time for him to say goodbye to international cricket, but he is not letting his fans down as in the West Indies series, he was the top scorer with 173 runs in 3 matches. In the last match, he started off well, but then Santner had his wicket on 32 runs.

2- Mitchell Marsh was the player of the match for his amazing 72 not-out and one wicket in three overs, which tells us what lead from the front means. He has been one of the best explosive batters around for the last two years. After suffering from multiple injuries at the start of his career, he is now showing all people his skills.

3- Glenn Maxwell was expensive with his bowling in the last match and also unable to have a big impact with his 25-run innings. However, on his day, he can do anything because of his different skill set.

Team Preview New Zealand

New Zealand needs to keep working hard if they want to win their last match because it was a total heist from Australia in their last match as they were not able to defend 35 runs in just 12 balls. They might make a few changes in the bowling attack, as they can bring in Ben Sears in place of Adam Milne or Tim Southee.

Important players for the New Zealand Team in the match against the Australian team

1- Rachin Ravindra has become one of the best talents for the New Zealand team in the past year, winning the emerging player of the ODI World Cup and then scoring a century on his test debut series against a tough side like South Africa. He once again showed what he is capable of as he scored 68 runs in just 35 balls with six sixes.

2- Finn Allen had a great series against Pakistan in their last T20I series, and he looked good in the last match at the start of hitting runs but got caught by the slower delivery of Starc. However, he will again be important for New Zealand to give them a good start.

3- Devon Conway at last had a good match after a long break as he scored 63 in 46 balls, but still, at the start, he did not look very confident in scoring. He needs to believe in himself, as he is one of the greatest batters in the world right now.
