Bowlers and boundaries in spotlight as Eden Park gears up for final

Before the start of Tri-Series, Australia was the team in all sorts of questions hanging on them and England and, New Zealand were the teams with answers in T20 format. But now after a couple weeks later, Australia find themselves to be the first team to enter the final.

While that's not just the actual matter, it's been bigger in terms of results as Australia yet to lose a match in the series, which includes highest ever chase in T20 format till date. The ODI defeats haven’t affected them as Big Bash stars helped them in a great way with fresh energy and probably the way Aussies might go in T20 format.

On the other side, New Zealand and England won a game piece and New Zealand just stepped ahead into the finals with a touch higher run rate. But,  New Zealand involved close finishes even in their losses apart from the Tri- Series opener.

So it makes New Zealand a worthy opponent for Australia in the final and also gives the home crowd, to cheer a lot about it. Apart from that after a contrasting Ashes and ODIs, the final against Transman gives a different and much-needed contest for Australians.

However, on the final Day, it's about the pressure of the moment for either side and the team which outsmarts the opposition bowlers will come on top.

Pitch and Conditions

               On Friday Eden Park has seen highest ever score made by a team and also the highest chase in T20s. While for final it's gonna be the same high scoring affair.
