With the T20 World Cup 2024 just a few months away, all teams are in preparation for the upcoming ICC event. Australia will also begin their New Zealand tour with a three-match T20 series. The series will kick off on February 21.

The first game will be held on Wednesday at the Sky Stadium in Wellington. This series is very important because both teams will see their big guns come back to the squad. Australia will have their experienced pace trio, while New Zealand will also have almost full strength. Hence, it is expected to be a thrilling series.

NZ vs AUS: Pitch Report

The Sky Stadium has a drop-in pitch that traditionally offers a good batting wicket. Hence, the batters from either side will enjoy it here, and it can turn out to be a high-scoring thriller. So batting first will be ideal here.

New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway (wk), Rachin Ravindra, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Josh Clarkson, Mitchell Santner (c), Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson

Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (c), Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis (wk), Tim David, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

All-rounders: Glenn Maxwell (Captain), Mitchell Santner, Rachin Ravindra

Bowlers: Tim Southee, Mitchell Starc

Dream11 Prediction: Australia recently beat West Indies at home in a high-scoring series. But the return of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc will strengthen their bowling attack. Kane Williamson is missing for New Zealand. As a result, we back Australia to win the first game.
