NZ vs AUS 1st T20 Team Prediction, Probable Playing XI: Preview

Welcome to our Preview for NZ vs AUS 1st T20 of the tri-series that involves Australia, England and New Zealand. The match will be played at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney. These are our Predictions for Dream11 Cricket Team and Probable Playing XI for New Zealand vs Australia 1st T20.

Australia has never been able to dominate in T20s like they have dominated in Test or ODI arena. Perhaps now is the time for them to improve on that. Their team may not have many big names but the team is full of talent. The selections are on basis of the performances in recent BBL. It will be exciting to see how the unit plays.

New Zealand had a great home season where they were unbeaten until the very last. It was the T20 series where Pakistan turned up and defeated NZ 2-1 after trailing in the first match. Currently ranked at number 2, New Zealand will love to win the tri-series and get to the number 1 title.

Suggestions:

• In Wicket-Keeper, Both A Carey and Tom Blundell are good picks but both bat in the lower middle order.
• Chris Lynn is back on the international scale and he is a superstar in T20s. Colin Munro if plays will be lethal.
• Glenn Maxwell had a good BBL even when Stars failed. Anaru Kitchen will be an interesting choice.
• Sydney pitch usually assists Spinners, Ish Sodhi will be a good option to have in the team.
