Preview

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.

Pitch Report

The Sydney Cricket Ground is one of the most iconic grounds, however, the ground has hosted only ten T20Is so far. The average first innings score here is 168 runs. Toss might not play a big role in this game considering that the team batting first and second have won an equal number of matches. New Zealand have never won a T20I game against Australia in Australia and will be looking to change this record.

Average Score

Player Picks

9
C

David Warner AUS | BAT

He has scored two half-centuries in the last five matches and last yearā€™s Player of the Tournament will be looking to make his mark again this year. The Southpaw is just 150 runs away from scoring 3000 T20I runs and becoming only the second Australian to reach there.

7.5
C

Mitchell Marsh AUS | ALL

He opened the innings for Australia along with Aaron Finch in the warm-up game against India and scored 35 runs off 18 deliveries. The 31-year-old all-rounder won the Player of the Match award in the final last year as he scored 77 runs off 50 deliveries and finished the tournament as the second-highest run-scorer for Australia.

8.5
C

Devon Conway NZ | BAT

He scored 233 runs in five innings of the recently completed Tri-Series against Pakistan and Bangladesh and was the leading run-scorer in the series. He has been one of the top performers for New Zealand with the bat in recent times and has made 339 runs in just eight T20Is this year at an average of 56.5.

7.5

Michael Bracewell NZ | BAT

He made his T20I debut in July this year and is the second-leading wicket-taker for New Zealand this year. He has taken 17 wickets in 13 matches so far at an average of 9.82. He won the Player of the Series award in the recently concluded Tri-Series.

7

Finn Allen NZ | BAT

He made his T20I debut last year but 2022 has been the breakout year for the right-handed batter. In 12 matches this year, he has scored 313 runs at an average of 26.08 and has scored a century as well as a half-century.

7.5

Ish Sodhi NZ | BOWL

He recently became only the fifth bowler to take 100 wickets in T20Is and the first non-Asian spinner to reach that mark. He has been one of the best performers for New Zealand with the ball in recent times. Apart from being the leading wicket-taker in T20Is this year, he has taken the most number of wickets for New Zealand since 2021.

6

Tim David AUS | BAT

The hottest free agent in world cricket was signed by the Australian team recently and made his T20I debut for the team against India last month. He has made 156 runs for Australia in seven innings so far at an average of 22.28 and a strike rate of 165.95. He is one of the players to watch out for in the tournament and might play a key role for the team in the title defense.

9

Josh Hazlewood AUS | BOWL

He is the only Australian bowler who has taken over 20 wickets in T20Is this year. Hazlewood has taken 21 wickets in 13 matches so far at an average of 16.66. He is the highest-ranked bowler in the T20I rankings currently.

7

Glenn Phillips NZ | WK

This will be the 50th T20 International game for the 25-year-old batter. He has made 449 runs in 14 T20Is this year at an average of 49.88 and a strike rate of 153.76.

Steve Smith

AUS | BAT

He has so far managed to score 141 runs in ten T20Is this year at an average of 20.14 and might not feature in the playing 11 in this game.

8.5

Daryl Mitchell

NZ | ALL

He is unlikely to play this game as he might not have recovered from the fracture in his finger which he sustained before the start of the Tri-Series against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
