Can New Zealand win Twenty20 series against Australia?

Question

Can New Zealand win their Twenty20 series against Australia in February 2010? Australia have been unstoppable at home this summer, and most recently handed the West Indies two comprehensive thumpings in the shortest form of the game.

Answer 1

The key for New Zealand will be extracting one or both of openers Shane Watson or David Warner early – they tore the West Indies apart at the SCG a few days ago. But Australia’s batting runs deep, and fast bowlers Shaun Tait and Dirk Nannes have been damaging. At worst, this series will end up a draw for Australia, but the Kiwis won’t win it.
