NZ vs AUS Stats Preview 2nd T20I

NZ vs AUS Stats : New Zealand will take on Australia in the second T20I match at University Oval in Dunedin on Thursday, 25 February. New Zealand after a fantastic win in the first T20I lead 1-0 in the series and will be eyeing to make it 2-0 while Australia will look to bounce back. In the first match New Zealand’s top order failed and they need to come good in this match and on the other hand, their bowling was top class and they need to continue that. On the other side, Australia whose batting just fell flat need to bat better in this match especially against the duo of Trent Boult and Tim Southee upfront.
