New Zealand vs Australia Betting: Odds & Prediction (2021)

Australia vs New Zealand Betting: Overview

Neither team has ever won an ICC T20 World Cup and New Zealand has never made it past the semi-finals. Australia were runners-up in 2010 and will be looking to add one of the few pieces of silverware they don’t own onto the mantle. New Zealand will want to cap off an absolutely stellar 12 months with their first ICC World Cup title in any format.

Australia vs New Zealand in the ICC T20 World Cup Final is going to be played on the 14th of November 2021 at the Dubai International Stadium at 19:30 IST.

Australia vs New Zealand Betting Odds

This is one of the world's top cricket tournaments, and the best cricket betting sites have been thinking about the ICC T20 World Cup final all week. We’ve compiled the Australia vs New Zealand betting odds as released by our top 5 bookies list.

Australia vs New Zealand Tips & Prediction

Both teams have been in cracking form, working their way through two tough group stages and defeating teams in the semi-finals. Australia and New Zealand were both the underdogs in their semi-final outings.

Top order batsmen from both teams have been destructive, and bowlers from both nations have been incredibly consistent.

However, Australia have arguably had the bigger uphill battle getting to the ICC T20 World Cup final and have shown great resilience against tough competition. Australia have historically been stronger against New Zealand in T20 Internationals and on the field, have looked the stronger side.

We think that Australia’s experience as a side that has won big stage finals before will shine through, and will defeat their Tasman Sea neighbours.

New Zealand

New Zealand will be without wicketkeeper-batsman Devon Conway after he sustained a hand injury during his innings against England. While this may affect some punters' Australia vs New Zealand betting strategies, don’t feel sorry for Conway – he broke his hand by punching his own bat following his dismissal by Liam Livingstone.

Key Players

No Australia vs New Zealand betting strategy can be complete without knowing about the key players in this epic final. Many players have performed well during the ICC T20 World Cup, but some have proven to be particularly vital.

The following are our top picks of players most likely to make a serious impact in the Australia vs New Zealand final:

New Zealand

• Kane Williamson – The New Zealand captain would make any punter's shortlist for best New Zealand batsman of all time, and in this series, he has led from the front. Yet to score any massive totals, Williamson has built a strong foundation with solid double-digit knocks when it counts during the World Cup. Although his record isn’t fantastic against Australia – averaging only 13.77, his experience and steady head may be key to chasing a big total.
• Ish Sodhi – Many were surprised by Sodhi’s rise to international glory, but the Indian-born leg spinner has taken wickets in every one of New Zealand’s World Cup matches. Sodhi has taken 9 wickets in this series so far, including the pivotal wicket of Jos Buttler during the defeat of England in the semi-final.
• Martin Guptill – The most experienced T20 player to walk onto to the pitch on the 14th, Guptill has been playing T20I’s for New Zealand since 2009. Since then, he has struck a monstrous 435 runs against Australia. He averages 36.25 in Australia vs New Zealand matches and strikes them at an aggressive 152.09. Guptill is the player who could very quickly take the game away from Australia.

Australia

• David Warner – When Finch fell for a duck against Pakistan, Warner really stepped up with a commanding 49 from 30 balls. He’s had a strong series too, with 236 runs including half-centuries against Sri Lanka and the West Indies. Warner’s highest T20I strike rate is against New Zealand with 156.43 and an average of 22.57. The Australian opener has been hitting them hard in this series and we expect him to add more to his tally against the Kiwis.
• Adam Zampa – The Aussie leg spinner has been vital to Australia’s success in the World Cup thus far. Taking wickets in every single match, Zampa was the star of Australia’s crushing defeat of Bangladesh, taking 5/19. He also took the important wicket of Babar Azam in their upset of Pakistan in the semis.
• Aaron Finch – Finch has been Australia’s most destructive batsman in T20I’s against New Zealand. The stocky opener has pounded 251 runs in Australia vs New Zealand T20I matches. Finch bats in a similar powerful way as his opening partner David Warner, and as a right-hander, he creates a left/right combination against the opening bowling attacks. Aaron Finch has the ability to get Australia off to a flyer, and with a 62.75 average against New Zealand, he is very likely to start strong.

Form

It goes without saying that both teams have been successful and in fine form, considering they are both in the ICC T20 World Cup final. Making it this far is no accident. Australia was in the “Group of Death” that featured favourites England, defending champions West Indies, and strong T20 side South Africa. New Zealand, in Group 2, had to defeat the likes of India and Pakistan, whom many thought would defeat Australia in the semi-final.

Both sides have opening batsmen that have consistently performed in this series. David Warner is tied for the most 4s scored during this series with 28 boundaries, while Martin Guptill has currently notched the third-highest runs with 93. Both teams also have bowlers who have consistently taken wickets, like both teams’ spinners in Adam Zampa and Ish Sodhi.
