Australia and New Zealand will square off in Sydney tomorrow in the tournament’s 13th game. The second and most anticipated round of the competition will begin with the Australia-New Zealand T20I of the Super 12 teams have been decided.
Finalists of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 would want to start their trip on a successful note as the game is expected to be played in a rainstorm. It is important for readers to remember that both Australia and New Zealand will enter the field on Saturday after losing their most recent T20I and only official warm-up game.
Both teams will square off in a high-profile match on a Saturday night for the first time since the T20 World Cup 2021 final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Australia now holds a sizable advantage in terms of its overall head-to-head record in this format. Since 2011, New Zealand has not won a game in Australia and has not done so in a T20I. While their most recent triumph in Australia occurred in the Test format, their most recent triumph in Australia with white balls occurred in 2009.
