AUS-W vs NZL-W Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – New Zealand Women tour of Australia, 2nd T20I

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:

The Australian Women started off the 3-match T20I series against New Zealand Women with a 17-run win. Even though they were put under pressure early on in the first innings, the hosts managed to bounce back. They put up a respectable total on the board and their bowlers took over later on. New Zealand Women would be disappointed after the toss in this game.

They would regret the fact that they weren’t able to cling on to the crucial moments in the game. Also, after that loss, this game becomes a must-win for the visitors. They would fancy winning this one and levelling the series going into the 3rd T20I.
