Australia's batting was poor which I wasn't expecting, its not that often we see a one sided match when Australia is playing but New Zealand were simply to good on the day.
Australia had a pathetic series against India and i am trying to remember the last time they looked dominant. Without Warner in a T20 team i am not sure what they are playing and New Zealand is in good form for a long time and they now have the best bowlers and explosive batsman and finding new talents as well while Australia need to find some young talents.

Australia started the match off perfectly but Conway and Phillips helped get New Zealand back on track and were able to post a nice total for Australia to chase. Conway was unlucky to not get his century finishing on 99 N/O. Australia's batting was poor which I wasn't expecting, its not that often we see a one sided match when Australia is playing but New Zealand were simply to good on the day.
Finally we have a big score in this edition of PSL. Quetta Gladiators made a total of 178/6 batting first. The surprise package was Universe Boss Chris Gayle, who made 68 runs (5 fours, 5 sixes). He was supported by Mohammad Nawaz, who hit three sixes. Even the super-economical Rashid Khan went for 30 runs from his 4 overs (it is equivalent to any other bowler going for 60 runs from his 4 overs 
).
Even with the high scoring game and Chris Gayle storm they lost the match ). 
. I was not expecting that and Lahore won the match easily as they lost only a wicket chasing the score and won with 10 balls to spare. Mohammad Hafeez is still in tremendous form even at 40 years and Lahore will be the team to look out as they have the perfect team and might bet from the next game onwards.Never really expected a one sided match, especially after Quetta made such a big total. Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Hafeez destroyed the Quetta bowlers. Even experienced bowlers such as Usman Shinwari and Mohammad Hasnain went for more than 10 runs per over. And now Lahore Qalandars are on the top of the points table, having won both their matches.

Right now we have fourth match of PSL2021 between Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators after winning toss LQ decided to field first its not good decision by them because today QG done very good job through Gayle and Sarfraz both done very good for them and now LQ need 179 to win which could be highest in current season against good bowling against of QG of Hasnain Shinwari very interesting match going to start again in very few minutes.
Part of their struggles were because of the brilliance of Tim Southee's bowling. Giving away just 10 runs in 3 overs, while taking 2 wickets. In a T20 standards, that is exceptional bowling. Australians just couldnt figure out Ish Sodhi's spin who managed to feast on Australian middle and lower order with 4 wickets.
Southee cleaned up the top and middle order, along with Boult. When Sodhi came to bowl, Australia was already down to the tail, so he had it relatively easy. I don't know why the Australians are sticking with failed players such as Matthew Wade. When was the last time this guy made a decent score in international cricket? He was a complete failure during the test series against India. Australian selectors need to give more chances to the younger players. I don't know why they persist with these players who are nearing retirement.
Australia tour of New Zealand starts tomorrow. My bet is on New Zealand but i am expecting a competitive match.
I am also expecting a good performance from New Zealand, simply because they are having the momentum right now. Wow!!! What a recovery from New Zealand. After the powerplay, they were at 28/3. After that Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips made such a remarkable recovery. Both these players are being regarded as future stars for New Zealand, and they performed exceptionally well today. New Zealand finished at 184/5 after their 20 overs. I feel bad for Conway, as he missed century by one run (he made 99 not out).
One sided affair after very poor start Kiwis done good job and won this match very easily by 51 runs Aussies completely fail in bowling and batting lost this match without any resistance look like Kiwis going to thrash them in next matches as well because they are in good touch for some time.Australia is a joke nowadays. Apart from Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, none of their batsmen are in form right now. And their bowling is in even worse shape with Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins performing poorly for quite some time. Anyway, all these players are not there in the T20 squad, so I don't want to talk about them. The conclusion is very clear. Australia has failed to produce young players who are capable of replacing the 35 plus members of the squad. Maxwell and Stoinis are known as some of the best in T20 format. But they never perform in the international matches.
New Zealand on the other hand, is benefitting tremendously from the influx of South African and Indian players. Their top three performers in this match (Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips and Ish Sodhi) were born outside NZ. Native talent is also booming, with bowlers such as Kyle Jamieson emerging as the world's best.

Finally it was the day for Devon Convoy winning the match and awarded the player of the match. If the partnership hasn't lasted, Australia would've taken advantage and made an easy win. Now the scoring has let New Zealand make a comfortable 53 run win leading the series 1-0. The score from New Zealand is perfect winning total, and the series will be much interesting. New Zealand will have its home ground advantage. Wow!!! What a recovery from New Zealand. After the powerplay, they were at 28/3.

Conway registered a great innings tonight against the Aussies, his hitting ability is such a mesmerizing for eyes. Stunning performance with great consistency at home helps his team NZ to get a comfortable win. Australia have to improve in top order, however their bowling unit is pretty good. Wow!!!

I am getting really frustrated with the TV coverage for cricket matches in India. The Australia vs New Zealand match is not available in any of the TV channels, as the rights were purchased by Fancode App. If I want to watch the match in India, then I have to pay subscription to Fancode. What is the point in spending even more money, after subscribing for all the Sports channels in the cable TV? Will have to skip this series.
New Zealand looks as if they are in some sort of trouble. After 5 overs, they are at 28/3, with Martin Guptill, Tim Seifert and Kane Williamson back in pavilion. South African imports Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips are currently trying to stabilize the innings right now.
Very good recovery by Conway and Philips as both doing very good job for New Zealand 72 runs partnership in just 9 overs now they are good 91/3 in just 12 overs and can reach on some good total for challenging visitors for this first match of series.

Australia tour of New Zealand starts tomorrow. My bet is on New Zealand but i am expecting a competitive match.
I am also expecting a good performance from New Zealand, simply because they are having the momentum right now. Their pace bowling attack (Kyle Jamieson, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult.etc) is probably the best in the world right now and Kane Williamson seems to be in excellent form right now. On the other hand, the Australian players are struggling, perhaps with the exception of Marnus Labuschagne.
Edit: Williamson gone very poor start for New Zealand as they are 19/3 in 4 overs.

Teams are struggling to score big totals so far in the PSL. Peshawar Zalmi could only make 140 earlier today, and now the Sultans ended up at 150/8 (despite 71 from Mohammad Rizwan). And in reply, Islamabad seems to be in some sort of trouble. They have lost two important wickets before the first power play ends (Phil Salt and Shadab Khan). Right now it is like 50/50.
I am finding it difficult to predict the PSL matches, Multan had a good start and then wickets kept falling until Carlos Brathwaite came to the crease, i cannot understand why they are keeping him in lower order, he is a clean hitter and he should be promoted up the order and the same with the run chase Islamabad kept loosing wickets and the lower order batsman took them to victory.Australia tour of New Zealand starts tomorrow.
