New Zealand vs Australia
New Zealand (Match Odds – 2.85):
Preview:
No team wants to beat Australia more than New Zealand, and the Kiwis have a good chance of doing so at the T20 World Cup.
Unfortunately, batsman Daryl Mitchell will not be in the starting XI against Australia, but there is hope that the talented allrounder will be available for the second game.
Martin Guptill, who has a solid 592 runs in his last 20 innings (29.60 average), Glenn Phillips, and captain Kane Williamson will carry a lot of the batting load.
Williamson has yet to score a century in T20Is (his best score is 95), but he’s one of the most dependable batters, displaying the right shot selection and poise that rivals Warner. During his T20 career, he has scored 2,225 runs in 79 innings and has a batting average of 32.72.
Bowling is where New Zealand struggles, as there isn’t exactly anyone on the squad with a name that inspires fear in batsmen. Ish Sodhi has been consistent with 30 wickets in 24 innings, and Tim Southee has the potential to pick up a few quick wickets, but the cabinet is somewhat bare.
Full Squad:
Kane Williamson (c), Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Mitchell Santner, Glenn Phillips, Jimmy Neesham, Daryl Mitchell, Adam Milne, Martin Guptill, Lachlan Ferguson, Devon Conway, Mark Chapman, Michael Bracewell, Trent Boult, Finn Allen

Players to watch out for:
Devon Conway
The opener has an outstanding track record in all international formats. He is only 56 runs away from reaching 1000 T20I runs.
Kane Williamson
The New Zealand captain is an outstanding leader on the field. During the tri-nation series earlier this month, he hit 59 with the bat against Pakistan.
Trent Boult
The left-arm pace bowler has a strong track record. He is a regular wicket-taker, and even when he does not dismiss batters, he maintains a low economy rate.
Possible Playing XI:
Devon Conway (wk), Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson (c), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Michael Bracewell, James Neesham, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
Australia (Match Odds – 1.42):
Preview:
Australia is sending a strong team to the T20 World Cup, and having every game played in Australia is a huge advantage.
Although reports suggest that batter Steve Smith will be rested against New Zealand, we can expect to see captain Aaron Finch, heavy-hitter David Warner, up-and-comer Mitchell Marsh, and, of course, star bowlers like Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, and Mitchell Starc.
We’re most interested in seeing what newcomer Tim David can bring to the batting lineup. His T20I records are respectable, with 156 runs scored in seven innings, including a high score of 54. We believe David is capable of causing significant damage in the middle order, and he’s just the guy to knock a few fours and sixes when they’re most needed.
If Australia is to have any chance of winning, they will need to rely heavily on David Warner. Warner has scored 585 runs in his last 14 innings and remains one of the most dependable batsmen at the plate. His experience and talent are invaluable to the team, and we can’t wait to see how he performs in the current tournament.
Full Squad:
Aaron Finch (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa

The left-handed opener was named Player of the Series for the T20 World Cup in 2021. Throughout the tournament, he averaged 48.16.
Glenn Maxwell
The batting all-rounder has struggled for form in recent months, but when at his best, he is a match-winning batter. In this format, his best score is 145 not out.
Josh Hazlewood
The right-arm pace bowler has four wickets in two T20Is and three wickets in two T20Is this year.
Possible Playing XI:
Aaron Finch (c), David Warner, Steve Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc

Our batting picks for New Zealand are Devon Conway, Martin Guptill, and Kane Williamson. In this format, Guptill has a best score of 105.
