Australia vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Live Streaming
New Zealand was made to feel mighty by the Century of 106 divided by 66 by Tim Robinson over the first game already burdened by its drawbacks with 6/3 in the second over. This effort was futile however following the end of it all since the Australian deep and explosive batting overwhelmed the total. Australia was leading the first game 1-0 and was going into the second match with a lot of confidence over New Zealand who had felt that they had to win this game to be in the game. In the second T20s, New Zealand will have to be offensive on the bat and leave the task of placing the offensive Australian batting line up in their houses to the bowlers. Even a loss on this will give Australia a series advantage. New Zealand will be straining to change strategies particularly with respect to pace and spin alliances, field positioning and the speed of batting.
