AUS vs NZ 2nd T20I delayed by rain in Mount Maunganui
Australia won the 1st T20I by six wickets at the same venue
The third and final T20I will be played on Saturday, Oct 3
The coin toss for the second T20I between New Zealand and Australia was delayed due rain at Mount Maunganui on Friday (October 3, 2025). The start of play will most likely be postponed too, and with more rain forecast for the evening, it remains to be see whether we have a shortened game.
After winning the series opener by six wickets riding on Mitchell Sharma's heroics, Australia are eyeing a series-clinching win. As for the BlackCaps, if this game is a washout, they will have a chance of levelling the series at the same venue on Saturday, October 4, 2025.
