The venue, Pitch Report, and Toss Prediction:
The second T20I game between Australia and New Zealand is scheduled to be played at the University Oval in Dunedin on 25th February Thursday.
Another high-scoring match summons at the University Oval. The ball should slide on the bat neatly. Given the size of the turf, the bowlers are in for a tough time. Nevertheless, the speedsters should get the ball to move off the wicket with extra bounce on bid. The spin bowlers will need to be intelligent with their lines and lengths as there will be extremely little space for blunder. Both sides would want to bat second upon winning the toss, with 165-175 being par at the ground.

Although the Blackcaps have impetus on their side, Aaron Finch and the men are more than competent in flipping the play in Dunedin. With two well-composed teams taking on each other, we should be in for a thrilling contest at the University Oval on Thursday.
Undoubtedly, the Kiwis enter this game as the favourites with the odds of 1.76. However, the Aussies don’t much lack behind with the odds of 2.00. We know, and we reckon, Australians will put up a show, and in no time will these odds be shuffled. Wait for the right time and bet wisely.
