Preview:
Australia will take on New Zealand in the 2nd ODI of the series on Thursday. Australia made an epic comeback in the 1st ODI to script an impressive win by 2 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the series. At one point they were struggling at 44 for 5 and later 158 run-stand for the 6th wicket between Alex Carey and Cameron Green steered them home in the end. They do put in all the efforts to restrict the kiwis for 232 runs initially, thanks to Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood who bagged 7 wickets between them. Skipper Aaron Finch is under the scanner as he was once again dismissed for a single digit. They will be high on confidence and aiming for a series win.
New Zealand on the other hand, will be disappointed for sure with the way things have gone in the latter part of the 1st ODI where they allowed the Australian lower order to take control as a result they lost the match by 2 wickets. There are a lot of positives to look after as Trent Boult was outstanding with the new ball, picking up 4 wickets, and while with the bat Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, and Tom Latham all made notable contributions. It will be a must-win game for them to stay alive in the series. Both sides have got all-rounders in their ranks which allows them to bat deep.
