Preview
New Zealand (NZ) will be up against Australia (AUS) in the 2nd T20I of the Australia tour of New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland on February 23. Australia won the last game in a last-ball thriller as they lead the three-match series 1-0. The next game is expected to be a close match and a thriller between the two sides as well.
The last game was held at the Sky Stadium in Wellington, where New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat. With Finn Allen and Devon Conway in a brilliant touch, the Kiwis started amazingly well with the opening stand lasting for 61 runs in just 5.2 overs. Rachin Ravindra came to bat at three and made the most out of it as he joined hands with Conway to amass 113 runs for the second wicket. Glenn Phillips and Mark Chapman provided the finish they needed to put up a total of 215 runs on the board.
Australia needed to start well as they had such a huge target ahead of them. Head, who was looking good, was lost at the score of 29 but then came the skipper Mitchell Marsh who led the way from the front with his performance. He played a brilliant knock of 72 and remained unbeaten. He was aided well by Maxwell who was looking dangerous but Ferguson’s raw pace took him by storm. In the end, it was Tim David who provided the much-needed finish for them as he smashed 31 off just 10 deliveries. Four runs were needed from the last ball when he smashed a boundary to clinch a thriller for his side by six wickets.

Inglis could only score 20 runs off 20 balls in the last game where everyone else was scoring heavily. He can be avoided from your team.
