Australia are looking to retain the Chappell Hadlee Trophy when the second T20 against New Zealand at Mount Maunganui gets underway at 4.15pm AEST on Friday.<\/p>\n

Mitchell Marsh\u2019s side are flying high after a thumping six-wicket victory in game one, headlined by the captain\u2019s blistering 85 from only 43 balls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hosts will be eager to bounce back, while both sides will be keeping their fingers crossed that the forecast light showers stay away from The Bay Oval.<\/p>\n

There is a 65 per cent chance of rain forecast for when the first ball is due to be bowled, and that percentage reduces to 40 as the night goes on.<\/p>\n

Australia are chasing a fifth consecutive men against their Trans Tasman rivals for the first time in men\u2019s T20 internationals.<\/p>\n

The Australian clean swept last year\u2019s three-match series in New Zealand, and have been in superb form in the shortest format since last year\u2019s T20 World Cup semi-final loss to eventual champions India, winning 15 of their last 18 matches.<\/p>\n
