NZ vs AUS, 4th T20I: Fan2Play Fantasy Cricket Tips, Prediction, Playing XI and Pitch Report

Match Details

The fourth game of the five-match T20I series between New Zealand and Australia will be played at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington on 5th March 2021.

The match will start at 11:30 AM IST (7:00 PM Local time). The live streaming will be available on the FanCode app.

Preview

After being 0-2 down in the series, Australia scripted a strong comeback in the series through a 64-run win at the Westpac Stadium on Wednesday. The visitors must be most pleased with Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell, two of their most crucial players in the batting line-up, finding their lost rhythm and playing an instrumental role in the team’s victory. After posting a mammoth target on the board, a sensational six-for for Ashton Agar and an impressive performance from debutant Riley Meredith made it a complete performance for Australia.

New Zealand, on the other hand, need not panic too much after a solitary defeat in the five-match series that they are leading 2-1. That said, the hosts would not want to allow their opposition to take another win and take the series into a decider. During the chase in the last game, losing wickets in heaps killed any chance for them to be into winning contention. Furthermore, New Zealand severely missed the presence of Mitchell Santner, who is available for the fourth match after returning with a negative COVID-19 report.

Captaincy picks

Martin Guptill

Martin Guptill has rediscovered his lost touch after an aggressive 50-ball 97 in the third T20I, and he was able to build upon that form in the previous game too, where his 28-ball 43 was the only effort that New Zealand would want to look back at. Expect him to fire, given that Australia will be in a hunt of levelling the series.

Glenn Maxwell

There is hardly a way for the bowlers to restrict Glenn Maxwell when he gets going. After an uneventful Big Bash League and two single-digit scores in the first two fixtures of the current series, Maxwell came out all guns blazing in the previous game, smoking 70 from merely 31 balls.
