Match Details:

The 2nd match of the T20I series between Australia Women and New Zealand Women will be played at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane.

The match is scheduled to start at 09:15 AM IST (03:45 AM UTC) (01:45 PM Local Time). It will be broadcasted live on Sony Six and Sony Six HD.

Preview:

Starting their series on a really great note, the Australian Women defeated their counterparts from New Zealand, by a 17-run margin in the first match of the three-match T20 series. This helped them gain a 1-0 lead, which means that they are just a win away from getting an unassailable lead over New Zealand, and getting the trophy to their name.

In the New Zealand camp, things would be not calm in any respect, as they would be wanting to make a comeback in this match. They would also want to avoid what could be a series loss in just two straight matches. The White Ferns would desperately want to keep the chances of winning the series alive going into the third and the final match of the series.
