In the nine-overs-per-side second T20I game, the Australian all-rounder struggled to find his rhythm, managing just one run off five balls at the start despite his heroics in the first match. He had blasted an 85 off 53 balls to guide Australia to a thrilling six-wicket win over New Zealand.
But the Australian skipper soon found his touch, hitting a six in the next few deliveries. Well, before Mitchell Marsh could build momentum, rain returned and forced the match to be called off. As the second T20I ended without a result, Australia maintained their 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
Mitchell Marsh said at the post-match presentation, “Days like today are always difficult. We tried our best to get a game for the crowd. The weather won today. Hopefully, tomorrow is a good day. A trophy like the Chappell-Hadlee holds a lot of history for both teams.”

Well, the Australian captain has stressed that they are taking things lightly after the rain played spoilsport in the second T20I when he was asked if they would treat the match as a one-off and hand over the trophy. Marsh signed off by saying, “We will go home, no worries (laughs).”
The Blackcaps have not won the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy since 2017. The third and final T20I is scheduled for October 4 at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
New Zealand hopes for better conditions in the final T20I
On the other hand, New Zealand’s Michael Bracewell said that they wanted to play, but the weather forced a washout. They made some adjustments from the first game and were pleased with the improvement. The team hopes for better conditions for the final game and appreciates fans who came out to support despite the rain.
Bracewell said at the post-match presentation, “We will see what happens tomorrow. We made few adjustments from the first to the second game. Every game is important for your country. We are very lucky to have such loyal fans. For people to be braving the conditions here and coming out to support us is great. Hopefully we will have some nice weather tomorrow.”
