The Trans-Tasman rivalry continues as New Zealand will be touring Australia for a 3 match ODI series. The last time these two teams met for an ODI series was in March 2020 and that series was halted only after one match due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 1st ODI will be played on the 6th of September. Both teams are coming on the back of series wins. New Zealand clinched the closely contested series against West Indies 2-1. Australia defeated Zimbabwe 2-1 which included a loss no one would have expected in the final ODI. Having already won the series Australia were bowled out 141 in the 3rd ODI, and even though Zimbabwe lost 7 wickets, they somehow managed to chase down the total.
New Zealand have not had much success in Australia over the years, so they will be looking to put on a fight and change that. Australia would think of the defeat to Zimbabwe as an aberration and would focus to play well against a quality side. In this article, we will provide AUS vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Captain & Vice-Captain, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Head-to-head, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Weather, and other updates.
