Australia vs New Zealand – 2nd T20I Match Preview (AUS vs NZ)
The Chappell-Hadlee T20I series continues with the 2nd T20I between Australia and New Zealand at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on October 3, 2025, starting at 11:45 AM NZDT.
Australia leads the series 1-0 after a dominant six-wicket win in the first match. Captain Mitchell Marsh delivered a blistering 85 off 43 balls, supported by Travis Head (31) and Matt Short (29), chasing down New Zealand’s total of 181/6 in just 16.3 overs. Despite a shaky fielding performance, Australia showcased their batting prowess and depth.
New Zealand, on the other hand, faced early setbacks, losing three wickets for just six runs. However, debutant Tim Robinson revived the innings with a remarkable maiden T20I century (106 off 66 balls), becoming only the third New Zealander to do so against Australia. His performance was a silver lining in an otherwise challenging match for the Black Caps.
With the series on the line, both teams are expected to bring their A-game. Australia will aim to seal the series, while New Zealand will look to level the score and keep their hopes alive.
