Australia vs New Zealand will be the 27th ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, played on October 28, 2023, at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala.

It is going to be a blockbuster match between the old rivals Australia and New Zealand as they will face off against each other in the World Cup. Both teams are strong contenders to win the World Cup, and it is going to be one of the best matchups in the World Cup as New Zealand comes into the match after losing their first match of the tournament against India, and Australia is coming into the match after thrashing down the Netherlands side by a massive score of 309 runs.

Australia has been in fine form over the last three matches. They showed why they have the five World Cups on their name because after losing the starting two matches, everyone thought that they were a Gooner in this World Cup, but how they fought back as a team is commendable. However, their next challenge will be a tough one because they will face the New Zealand team, who just lost their one match that too against India, but they are still favorites to be in the final of the World Cup.

New Zealand lost their last match against India. It was their first defeat against them in the World Cup after the 2003 defeat, but still, it was not a heavy defeat as India won the match by four wickets. Their top order did quite well as Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra built a 159-run partnership, but after that, it was Mohammed Shami’s show; he took 5 wickets once again to keep New Zealand on 274 runs total.

At one stage, New Zealand had the upper hand when Suryakumar Yadav got run out, which opened the wound of the 2019 Dhoni run out, but then it was Virat Kohli’s master class with Ravindra Jadeja who took their team over the rope.

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, has seen lots of dew in the last match between India vs New Zealand. There was some swing moment in the initial phase of the match. Under the light, it was easy for the batter to play their shots, but clearly, there was some swing from the surface.

Team Preview Of Australia

The Australian team is on a roll after getting two defeats in the opening matches against India and South Africa, but then they changed their gear and won the last three matches against the slightly weaker side. The opening pair, Mitchell Marsh and David Warner did most of the work, and the bowlers did a good job.

Important players for the Australia Team in the match against New Zealand

1- David Warner now holds the record of scoring 6 centuries in the World Cup, and he is just behind Rohit Sharma, who has 7 centuries to his name. He does have a good record against the New Zealand side, as he averages 42.60 and does have two centuries on his name against them.

2- Marcus Stoinis had some niggle in the last match, but he might play in the next match against New Zealand. He has an average of 53.50 runs per match and also took 4 wickets against them.

3- Mitchell Starc had great form against New Zealand as he had 29 wickets in 13 matches he played against the black caps. He is going to be the key bowler to get the opener out on a low score and destroy the lower order.

Team Preview New Zealand

New Zealand will be waiting for the Aussies in the next match because they did not win the last five ODI matches against them in the past, which they want to change because they have been the better side in the World Cup compared to the Australian team. However, their middle order crashed in the last match when they got the first chance to perform. Their top order is in good form, and we might see no chances in the next match.

Important players for the New Zealand Team in the match against the Australian team

1- Rachin Ravindra has been in sensational form with the bat in the World Cup, as he scored 290 runs in five World Cup matches with an average of 72.50. He scored 75 runs against India in the last match.

2- Trent Boult has been the wicket-taking bowler for the New Zealand team in the ODI against Australia, taking 39 wickets in just 15 matches.

3- Matt Henry will be another pace bowler who can take lots of wickets against Australia as he did in the past, taking 17 wickets in 8 matches.

Australia vs New Zealand Match Prediction
