The first T20 game between New Zealand and Australia saw a nail-biting finish in a high-scoring thriller, with the result coming out on the final delivery of the match. It was Tim David's cameo that took the game away from New Zealand.
With a 1-0 lead in the series, Australia will look to win it on Friday itself. The second T20 will be played on Friday (February 23) at Eden Park, Auckland. The Men in Yellow showed that they have a dangerous batting unit that can chase anything. New Zealand did everything right but still lost. So we might see another high-scoring game on Friday.

NZ vs AUS: Pitch Report
The pitch in Auckland is another good surface to bat on. The bowlers have not much help from the pitch. But there will be some movement with the new ball, and then the conditions will change in favour of the batters. So it is another chasing venue.
