New Zealand vs Australia Predictions

  • Australia and New Zealand have played 15 T20Is between them, with Australia winning 10 and New Zealand 4. Clearly, Australia has the upper hand.
  • New Zealand’s performance against Australia in ICC tournaments has been abysmal. Add to that, the Kiwis haven’t won any T20 match against them in Australia.
  • The pitch at SCG provides some assistance to the batsmen.
  • That said, unlike other Australian venues, which have a good amount of bounce and carry, the pitch at SCG is a tad slow. Hence, you can expect spinners like Ish Sodhi (NZ), Mitchell Santner (NZ), and Adam Zampa (Aus) to get purchase off the pitch.
  • The average T20I score here is around 160. The toss shouldn’t be a huge factor, as in the past, almost an equal number of games have been won by both the team batting first and second.
  • Key players for New Zealand would be Ish Sodhi and Devon Conway. The SCG track will be conducive to spin, which will afford Sodhi the edge. Likewise, Conway has been in good form, unlike the rest of the Kiwi lineup.
  • Key players for Australia would be Adam Zampa and David Warner. Zampa has been Mr Consistent for his side in the recent past, and the SCG wicket should suit his bowling style. David Warner, for the hard-hitting batter that he is, will look to play the sheet anchor in this game.
CBA VERDICT

We are backing Australia to comfortably defeat New Zealand in the opening Super 12 match.

• Currently ranked 5th in the ICC T20I rankings, the New Zealand team has been on a downward curve since the last T20 World Cup.
• They are coming into the World Cup after a poor outing in the recently concluded tri-series against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
• Their biggest concern is the lack of form of their captain Kane Williamson. In fact, the team's batting woes were exposed in the recently held warm-up match vs South Africa, where they were bundled out for a paltry 98.
• The Kiwi bowlers, of late, have been leaking too many runs in crunch matches.
