New Zealand (NZ) will be up against Australia (AUS) in the 1st T20I of the Australia tour of New Zealand at the Sky Stadium in Wellington on February 21. New Zealand are coming with a great track record in their last five games in this format where they have won four while Australia has won just two of their last five games.
Australia squared off against West Indies in their last match, where West Indies won the toss and elected to bat. They had a horrible start as they lost three wickets on 17 but their middle order made a sensational comeback. Smashing bowlers all around the park, they posted a mammoth total of 22 runs on the board. Australia, in return, had started amazingly as they smashed 68 runs for the first wicket but things went downhill after that. Warner and David played fantastic innings but could save the team from the loss by 37 runs.
New Zealand had played against Pakistan in their last game, where Pakistan had won the toss and elected to bat. In a low-scoring encounter, Pakistan had posted a moderate total of 134 runs for the loss of eight wickets on the board which included handy innings from Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman. New Zealand, after having batted so brilliantly in the series, just could not keep it going in the last game. They kept losing wickets one after the other and were bowled out for a mere total of 92 and lost the game by 42 runs.

Player Picks
David Warner AUS | BAT
Warner, in the fag end of his career now has been furthermore dangerous. In an illustrious career of 102 T20Is, he has smashed 3067 runs and is a suitable pick for leadership roles.
Rachin Ravindra NZ | ALL
Though not too great of a track record to show so far in this format, Rachin has been in splendid form and is expected to turn his stats around now. He is useful with the ball too.
Glenn Maxwell AUS | ALL
Popularly known as The Big Show, Maxwell is a run-away match-winner. He can win you matches from both ends and could be another brilliant choice for captaincy roles.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Josh Clarkson
NZ | ALL
In a star-studded team, Clarkson might not be able to find a place in the playing XI. So leaving him out seems a fair option.
Nathan Ellis
AUS | BOWL
Nathan might not be able to find a place as well. He should be kept out of your fantasy team as well.
