NZ vs AUS: Australia Punish New Zealand To Win Second T20I And Clinch Series

Australia's bowlers sliced through some reckless New Zealand batting on Friday to win the second Twenty20 international by 72 runs in Auckland and clinch the three-match series. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa knocked over the middle order to finish with 4-34 as the home side were skittled for 102 in 17 overs at Eden Park. New Zealand lost early wickets and always looked unlikely to match the visitors, who were dismissed for 174 in the final over. Only Glenn Phillips provided resistance with 42 but New Zealand's hopes were buried when he was caught at long-on off Zampa in the 14th over.

Ahead of the T20I series against New Zealand, Australia T20I captain Mitchell Marsh revealed the team's top batting order. Marsh revealed that the top three spots are "pretty much set," with him batting third and Travis Head and David Warner beginning the innings. These established three have demonstrated exceptional cooperation and performance in previous years, leaving little space for uncertainty regarding their responsibilities in the upcoming World Cup.
