AUS vs NZ Preview

• Since 2009, New Zealand hasn’t triumphed in an ODI in Australia.
• With five victories from 11 games, Australia is sixth in the ODI standings in 2022.
• With nine victories out of ten games, the Blackcaps are currently the best ODI squad in 2022.

Tuesday afternoon sees the start of a three-match ODI series between Australia and New Zealand at the Cazalys Stadium in Cairns. In a recent ODI series that ended on Saturday, Australia defeated Zimbabwe 2-1. Last month, New Zealand defeated West Indies by the same margin. At 14:20 local time in Cairns, the first ODI will start.

On Saturday, Australia lost shockingly to Zimbabwe in this format, the first time they had done so at home. They were, however, in fantastic shape for the remainder of the series and will be formidable in this first game.

New Zealand’s recent tour to Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, and the West Indies has been extremely successful. Despite winning the series in each of those nations, this series against Australia will be far more difficult.

AUS vs NZ Match Toss Prediction

Given that this venue’s average first innings score is under 200, the team that wins the toss will probably choose to bowl first. The weather will be in the bowlers’ favor, and a few early wickets will put the bowling team ahead of the game.

Since Australia and Sri Lanka played a test match that ended in a tie in August 2004, this will be the first international to be held at this location. Pundits anticipate a nice batting surface.

Australia Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Given that this surface is predicted to turn, the home team’s starting lineup against Zimbabwe in the second and third ODIs was the same, therefore we assume that Ashton Agar will hold his spot for this match. The Australian team is healthy and injury-free.

Australia is the favorite to win this match.

 

Even if the rivalry is not as intense as that between Pakistan and India or even Australia and England, the trans-Tasman series are usually fiercely contested and have an edge to them. We expect the first game of the series to be extremely competitive, and we are backing Australia to win.
