AUS vs NZ 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Australia and New Zealand go head to head in the second ODI in the three game series on Thursday in Cairns. Tuesday’s series opener saw Australia recover from 44-5 to reach their target of 233 with two wickets and five overs remaining. Read on as we preview this day-night ODI. The second game in the series begins at the Cazaly’s Stadium at 14:20 local time.
Australia showed all the fight and grit that is associated with their cricket to recover from their awful start with the bat to get home with 30 balls to spare. They very rarely give opposition chances in successive games.
New Zealand will still be kicking themselves after failing to get over the line in the opening game of the series. There were dropped chances at crucial times and they know they may not get those opportunities again in this ODI.

Australia won the toss and chose to field first, a decision which looked like a poor one two-thirds of the way through the game. Batting became easier as the match progressed on Tuesday and we predict both skipper to elect to field first in this ODI.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
Ashton Agar was left out of the Australia side in favour of Marnus Labuschagne as the home team opted to select an extra batter in the opening game. Although Labuschagne made a seven ball duck, we expect him to be picked again for this ODI.
AUS Key Players
- David Warner - The 35 year old opener has played in 137 ODIs and still remains one of the most dangerous batters in the game. He has scored 43 international centuries.
- Adam Zampa - The right arm leg-spinner got the crucial wicket of Devon Conway on Tuesday but also hit a crucial 13 not out to win the game. He has been in fine form in international fixtures.
- Josh Hazlewood - The right arm fast medium bowler continues to pick up regular wickets for Australia irrespective of the format. He dismissed James Neesham, Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry in the opening ODI.
AUS Team Form
Australia bounced back from their shock defeat to Zimbabwe with an excellent win over New Zealand. They showed plenty of fight in Tuesday’s game.
