New Zealand vs Australia Chance of Winning

New Zealand heads into this series as one of the best T20 sides in this calendar year. After a defeat against Sri Lanka earlier this season, New Zealand have gone on and won nine of the last ten matches. They had a perfect record in the tri series against South Africa and Zimbabwe and would be hoping to carry their form in this series.

Much like their opponents, Australia have looked great in the T20 format so far as they have won seven of the eight matches in this calendar year. In the last series they went head to head against South Africa and they won the series 2-1. As per our calculations, Australia are favourites in the upcoming game.

• New Zealand’ chances of winning - 32%
• Australia’ chances of winning - 68%

New Zealand vs Australia Betting Odds

Australia to have a better opening partnership than New Zealand

New Zealand and Australia head into this game in great form which makes this a great watch for the neutrals. New Zealand have been near perfect this season, they head into this series after back to back series wins against Pakistan and then the Tri-Series against South Africa and Zimbabwe. Historically they have struggled to compete against Australia as they lost the last series 3-0. Australia head into this series after a dominant performance against South Africa as they won the series 2-1. In two of the three matches, Australia managed to have a better opening partnership which makes us believe they will once again have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
