AUS vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, T20 World Cup Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For Match 13

Australia will start their campaign of defending the T20 World Cup trophy on Saturday (October 22) at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney against the arch-rival New Zealand. This will be an interesting battle as New Zealand and Australia played the final of the last edition of the World Cup. No team has managed to defend their title in the shortest format of the game and the host nation has never won the tournament. Australia have a chance to become the first country to achieve these marks at the same time. Tim David has cemented his place in the Australian playing 11 and is highly likely to play this game as well. He is the only addition to the team that played the final of the last edition of the tournament.

New Zealand, on the other hand, have a lot of new faces in the squad who are likely to make their T20 WC debut in this game. The likes of Finn Allen, Mark Chapman, and Michael Bracewell have performed exceptionally well for the Kiwi side in the last few months and will be the key players for them. They lost the final of the Tri-Series last week against Pakistan and lost the warm-up game against Pakistan. They recently lost the three-match ODI series against this very opponent and will be hoping to extract a better result from this game.
