AUS vs NZ Today Match Prediction

AUS vs NZ match preview:

New Zealand and Australia will go head to head for the first one day match of the New Zealand tour of Australia. The Australian team are coming off a nightmare tour of South Africa where the proteas white-washed them in the three-game series. The group seemed clueless and lost two games from the jaw of victory. David Warner and Aaron Finch looked out of form for most of the tour, and the Australian side would look to bounce back after the disappointing series.

On the other hand, the confidence of the New Zealand side is sky-high after winning three consecutive games against the Asia Giants India. The batting of the team is in exceptional form, and Ross Taylor and Tom Latham look like the player to beat. The bowling in the form of Kylie Jamieson and Tim Southee seems settled. The return of Trent Boult will only strengthen the team.

Today’s Cricket Match Prediction

Strength: the strength of New Zealand lies in their bowling. The team has excellent bowling which boasts of Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry. The sudden rise of Kylie Jamieson has developed the problem of plenty for the New Zealand side. Another Strength for the New Zealand team is also their in-form batting which can deviate any game with their fantastic strokeplay. The Australian team has found their strength in the top four of their batting along with the exceptional fast bowling they possess.

Weaknesses: The weakness of the New Zealand team is in their ability to choke on crucial junctures. The Kiwis have developed a habit of faltering at essential points in a cricket game, and their such behavior is making them lose a more significant number of games than what they should. On the other hand, the current Australian side arguably has the weakest middle order in Australian history. Their middle order is emerging as a considerable shortcoming, and the team management would like to tackle it.

AUS vs NZ Dream 11

The fantasy cricket sides for this game should be a tricky one as both the sides are stocked with potential match winners. The bowlers will especially prove challenging to choose as both the teams have atleast 3-4 match winners. The bowling for the dream11 side should consist of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins and then one or two bowlers from the New Zealand roster. The slow Sydney track might also provide turn to Adam Zampa, and he could be given a look into Dream11 side. David Warner and Steve Smith must be included in Myteam11 alongside Kane Willamson and Ross Taylor. Colin De Grandhomme should be played as an all-rounder.
