Rain Ruins Second T20I Between Australia and New Zealand

On October 4, 2025, the second T20I match between Australia and New Zealand was abandoned due to heavy rain at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. The match was initially delayed due to the downpour, but the rain eventually relented, and the game got underway as a 9-overs-per-side contest.

New Zealand won the toss and opted to bowl first, but the match was once again interrupted by rain. Only 2.1 overs were possible, with Australia's Mitchell Marsh and Matthew Short at the crease on 9 and 2 runs, respectively. Earlier, Australia had won the opening match of the series by 6 wickets.

Speaking after the abandoned match, Marsh made a cheeky statement, saying he was feeling immense pressure when he was batting on just 1 run off 5 balls. "It was nice to walk off, I was actually about to retire myself," he joked.

The third and final T20I of the series is scheduled to be played at the same venue on October 5, 2025. Both teams will be looking to fine-tune their preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup set to be held in India and Sri Lanka next year.
