After being thrashed by the Kiwis at Eden Park Aussie look for a quick turnaround at Wellington, but their record against hosts at the venue looks quite a concern for the neighbour's in recent outings.
The batting collapse as something to do with their adaptability in these conditions with the dimensions of the grounds, quite different compared with the home. Playing the swing against the new ball will be tested once again.
With the bowling attack on a second streak and Faulkner's injury will make it even hard to contain the the red hot kiwi batsmen. So the Aussie batsmen have to make the runs to cope with their bowling.
Although Kiwis look for more improvement in the batting in later half of the Innings, where they struggled to take the momentum till to the end in the opening game. The bowling looks pretty solid and they will look for the same at Wellington.
Now the series on the line the Aussie playing XI will be in focus with Khawaja still hanging in their for a game. It will be a crucial decision to make, considering his prolific form over the formats in summer. Stonics have been drafted in the squad after Faulkner's injury and Boland is likely to replace him on Saturday, who is yet make a mark with his lethal yorker at the international stage.
The Aussie should come back hard to stay in the hunt, after being outplayed in all the departments. Meanwhile the Kiwis hope to continue their prolific form at home by sealing the series at Westpac stadium.
