Starc on a hat trick....

I give us about a 45% chance to defend this. Australia have picked a worse batting line up and most of them are hitters. They need someone to get a score a build the innings around.
Think it's more like 50-50 now.

after failing on the free ball, Santner has hit back to back 4's and a 6 off the last 3.

Some handy late hitting gets us to 281, definitely 50 short of where we could/should have been, but we've got runs on the board and the number 1 ODI bowler in the world so we are still in this.
-
30 short thanks to our appalling middle order. Can we fuck Munro off for good now?

Yeah - the Aussies have definitely used up their stronger suit, but probably so have we.
As per the first game, the only way we win this is to bowl the Aussies out, but that is definitely possible with this line-up.
It's 50-50 in the sense that anything could happen.
We do at least have a target to bowl at.
p.s. Good finishing work by Santner, though I thought Stoinis saved that six. Couldn't see where they got him touching the rope.

They've got some interesting decisions to make now.
Talk seems to be that Ronchi will be brought back. Question then is whether they pick Brownlie or Latham to open. Could go with...
Guptill, Brownlie, Williamson, Taylor, Broom, Neesham, Ronchi, Santner, Southee, Boult, Ferguson
I think Ronchi is more likely to come off at 7 than Munro or CdGh.
I'd like to see Milne and McClenaghan back in the mix.

They normally like to have an extra bowling option. Latham is only a keeping option until the Champions Trophy. Apparently they are keen on him so they can pick another all rounder. After that, they intend to blood a young keeper like Blundell. I think Ronchi will be in the squad but they won't pick him. Hopefully, Anderson is back and bowling by that stage.
Ferguson is definitely just a place holder at this stage unless he demands selection.
