T20 World Cup 2022, Australia vs New Zealand: Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Captain and Vice Captain

Aaron Finch-led Australian side looks strong despite being hit by some injury concerns and will start as favourites in the match against Kane Williamson-led New Zealand as the Aussies enjoy a superlative record over Blackcaps in their own backyard.

Injury to some of their players has forced Australia to reshuffle their squad in the showpiece event but they won’t be too worried because the team has ample options and the fact that they are playing at home makes them favourites.

They’ve recently lost the services of their backup wicketkeeper Josh Inglis due to injury and included in-form all-rounder Cameron Green, who will add another dimension to Australia’s batting should he get a chance in the playing eleven.

However, they can’t afford to take their Trans-Tasman rivals lightly despite enjoying a good record at home against them. The Kiwis have some of the T20 specialists in Martin Guptill, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell in their batting line-up. The Kiwis also have the experience of Trent Boult, Tim Southee, and Adam Milne in their pace department. In the spin department, the Blackcaps have seasoned campaigners in Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner.
