AUS vs NZ Dream11

Australia is all set to host New Zealand for a three-match ODI series starting with the first ODI on March 13. It is expected to be an exciting and entertaining limited-overs series. Both the teams will be coming into this series after witnessing contrasting results unfold in their respective previous assignments. Australia suffered a disappointing whitewash against South Africa and have lost five straight ODI games. On the other hand, New Zealand cleanswept the ODI series against India at home. Australia will still be deemed as the favourites due to the home advantage but New Zealand will surely give the hosts a tough fight.

Let’s now look at the Today Match Prediction for this fixture
