NZ vs AUS, 2nd T20I, Cricket Tips: Tim Robinson slammed a hard-fought century in the first game but couldn't see his team winning the first T20I. It was because of the sheer domination of the Australian batting unit led by captain Mitchell Marsh, who slammed a blistering fifty. With a 1-0 lead, Australia will square off with New Zealand in the second game.

This match starts at 11:45 AM IST on Friday at Bay Oval. New Zealand had a poor start in the powerplay in both innings, which captain Bracewell also pointed out. That is what they need to work on. Because this Australian side can chase and set big totals easily.

NZ vs AUS: Ground Pitch Report

Bay Oval produced a great surface, which has early movement for the fast bowlers when the ball is new, and then batters are getting their chances as well. The venue is not big enough, and shorter boundaries give more freedom for the batters to use the long handle. This is a pitch where you love to chase even big targets.

New Zealand: Tim Seifert (wk), Devon Conway, Tim Robinson, Michael Bracewell (c), Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Bevon Jacobs, Zakary Foulkes, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Jacob Duffy
