Trans-Tasman Trophy, Final: New Zealand vs Australia - Things which went wrong for the hosts

#2 Not learning from their past mistakes

T20 cricket is evolving at a rapid pace and the teams need to learn from their mistakes quickly to adapt.

Australia pulled-off the highest-ever run chase in T20I in history against the Kiwis last week but the hosts did not make any amends in their faulty strategy and kept making the same mistakes in the Eden Park repeat.

Until last week, the team chasing had won only one of the last seven T20Is in Auckland but the Aussies defied all logic when they chased down 244 with 7 balls remaining.

Bowling had not been a strong suit for New Zealand in the T20 series but they did considerably well with the bat. Kane Williamson could have tried batting second in the final after a failed attempt to defends mammoth score last week.
