New Zealand will take on Australia in the second T20I of the 3-match series at Eden Park, Auckland, on Friday (23 February) evening.

Australia managed to hold their nerve in a cliffhanger on Wednesday. Tim David’s last-ball boundary secured a 6-wicket win for the visitors. Captain Marsh’s unbeaten 72-run knock guided the team to 1-0 lead in the series. He was also the most effective with the ball, taking 1/21 in his 3 overs.

On the other hand, New Zealand will be disappointed with not winning the first T20 despite having the upper hand most of the match. Conway and Ravindra’s 113-run partnership was the foundation of a big score of 215 runs. Captain Mitchell Santner took 2/42 in the second innings.
