Australia to level series with New Zealand in second ODI?

Question

Australia enters the second ODI against New Zealand 1-0 behind in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series. Can they square it in the second match?

Answer 1

Ricky Ponting wanted more runs in the first ODI, but the team couldn’t quite produce the goods, so Australia’s batsmen will be keen to atone for that and turn their starts into game changing knocks. Still New Zealand was without Daniel Vettori in the first match but he’ll be back for this one – and we all know just how important the skipper is to the Blackcaps side. Australia should improve on the first match and win this one though.
