Australia Preview
Australia is favorite to win this clash against New Zealand as their line-up looks more settled & equipped than their opponents. Australia has decent records against New Zealand in home conditions & will try their best to maintain the stats in the marquee event as well. They are marching into the T20 World Cup 2022 with a full-fledged squad. The addition of Cameron green as an all-rounder has provided more strength to the team. While their top order to looks potent with the presence of Steve Smith & David Warner.
Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa & Pat Cummins can bat well in the middle overs & adds more stability to their batting line-up. While the inclusion of power hitter Tim David who boasts 585 runs in 18 innings makes Australia’s batting order formidable. Their bowling department too looks on point with experienced bowlers Cummins, Hazlewood, Richardson, Starc & Zampa taking up the bowling duties in the marquee event.
New Zealand Preview
New Zealand recently played a T20I Tri-series against Pakistan & Bangladesh on their home ground & was the runner-up after losing the summit clash against Pakistan. They will aim to take revenge from Australia for the defeat they faced during the final of the T20 World Cup 2021.
Their batting line-up looks fragile as their key batter Daryl Mitchell will not feature in the Playing XI & will join the team for their second clash against Afghanistan. Guptill will be one of their biggest bet after scoring 592 runs in 20 innings & would prove a game-changer for New Zealand. Glenn Phillips & Williamson are the other batters to watch for in the Black Caps batting order. Overall their batting order looks settled & gives tough competition to Australia’s bowling order.
However, their bowling looks ineffective as their lead bowler Ish Sodhi failed to hit the mark with the ball. Tim Southee could scalp early wickets but might not get enough assistance from other bowlers.
