The second One-Day International between Australia and New Zealand begins on Thursday . The hosts took a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series after winning the first ODI by two wickets. If New Zealand is to remain in the series, they must win the second ODI.
Match Preview
The first ODI game at the site is expected to take place on a brand-new surface better suited for speed bowling. Both teams’ starting batters must wait out the first several overs of defensive constraints before taking a swing. If the captain wins the toss, he or she has the option of bowling first.
Team preview
As the home team chose an extra batter in the first game, Ashton Agar was pulled out of the Australia lineup in favour of Marnus Labuschagne. Despite his seven-ball duck, we expect Labuschagne to be selected again for this ODI. Australia bounced back from a shocking loss to Zimbabwe with a convincing victory over New Zealand. They fought hard throughout the game on Tuesday.
There were a number of shocks in New Zealand’s lineup ahead of the series opener, with starter Finn Allen and the seasoned Tim Southee both missing out. Lockie Ferguson seldom plays two games in three days, therefore we expect Southee to replace him in this encounter. In this format, New Zealand has lost two of their last four games. They will acknowledge that they should have won the first game of the series.
