Robinson will go head-to-head against Adam Zampa, who is the sole specialist spinner in the playing XI for Australia and has fulfilled the role to the best of his abilities.

Mitchell Marsh vs Matt Henry

Marsh will be up against Matt Henry, who is the leader of New Zealand's bowling attack and will have to put his hand up and deliver a spirited effort in the third T20I against Australia.
