AUS vs NZ: Match Preview:

After a top-order collapse in the first ODI, Cameron Green and Alex Carey guided Australia to a win. In the 2nd ODI, the batting order failed again. Steven Smith was the top scorer with 61 runs off 94 balls with 5 fours & a six. Mitchell Starc also played a useful hand of 38* runs while Josh Hazlewood contributed with his knock of 23* runs. 

Spinner Adam Zampa has been the top wicket-taker for Australia in the ongoing series, grabbing 6 wickets at an average of 12.17. Along with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Sean Abbott & Glenn Maxwell, the Australian team would look to bid farewell to captain Aaron Finch with a win & clean sweep in the ongoing series. 

New Zealand batting has been a bigger disappointment in the series. While three batters - Devon Conway (46), Kane Williamson (45) & Tom Latham (43) scored in the 40s, none of the batters were able to cross the 20-run mark in the 2nd ODI as the whole team was bowled out for just 82 runs. 

Trent Boult has been the highest wicket-taker in the series with 8 wickets to his name in 2 matches. Matt Henry has also picked up 5 wickets and the Kiwi team would try their best to save pride and avoid a clean sweep against neighbours Australia.
