Australia vs New Zealand ODI World Cup

Two points separate the closely-stacked Trans-Tasman neighbours Australia and New Zealand ahead of their clash in Dharamsala. This ICC ODI World Cup 2023 match #27 will be played at the HPCA stadium on Saturday morning.

After a poor start to the tournament, Australia seem to have found their mojo. There are still a few selection concerns, but they are on the right track. New Zealand have a few tricky games ahead and another loss here on the back of a defeat to India could complicate their chances. I am going to bank on Australia’s record against New Zealand and back them to win here.

Head to Head

Australia have played New Zealand in 141 ODIs so far with 95 wins to their name. New Zealand have won 39, while seven matches ended without a result.

The last time these sides played was in a three-match series in New Zealand in 2022. The Aussies clean-swept that series 3-0.

Australia Form

After five rounds of matches, Australia are 4th in the points tally with six points from matches. They started with defeats to India and South Africa, but bounced back with victories over Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the Netherlands.

The biggest positive for Australia is their opener David Warner (332 runs) who has two centuries to his name. Three other batters have aggregated 150+, so the five-time Champions are warming up to the task.

With the ball, it is the leg-spin magician Adam Zampa who has 13 wickets to his name. Mitchell Starc has seven to his name and is looking threatening as ever.

Australia Team News

Marcus Stoinis missed the last match for Australia, but could slot back in the place of Cameron Green. Travis Head is back with the squad and could be slotted to open alongside Warner.

New Zealand Form

New Zealand are 3rd in the standings with eight points from five matches. Their only loss came against India in the last round, while their victories have come over England, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.

With South Africa and Pakistan next up, the Kiwis know that a slip here could be costly. That would put them dependant on Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell to contribute with the bat. The trio have so far scored 249 runs or more.

Mitch Santner with his 12 wickets has been a silent performer for New Zealand while Matt Henry’s 10 wickets have given them strong starts.

New Zealand Team News

New Zealand do not have any reason to change their team, but if they want to add a bit more to their bowling, they could play James Neesham in place of Mark Chapman.

Verdict

The Trans-Tasman rivalry hasn’t been a rivalry in the World Cups with Australia dominating. It gets worse for New Zealand while playing in India against Australia, with no wins for the Kiwis in eight ODIs! That may well continue here and I am putting my money on an Australian win. Keep an eye on the market for Adam Zampa ending as Australia’s best bowler of the match.
