World Cup 2023: Australia vs New Zealand, Game 27 – Dafanews Match Preview

Australia will square off against New Zealand in the 27th match of the ongoing World Cup 2023 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala on Saturday. New Zealand has won four out of its five matches whereas Australia has won three out of its five games.

Ergo, both of these Oceania countries will aim to stay in the top half of the points table. We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form for Australia: W W W L L

After losing their opening two matches against India and South Africa, Australia has come storming back into the tournament. The Aussies have shown why they are always a dangerous unit in major tournaments and we can not write them off.

Current form for New Zealand: L W W W W

New Zealand has ticked the right boxes as a unit despite the absence of their full-time captain Kane Williamson. The Kiwis have come up with a collective show and they have once again punched above their weight in the ongoing ODI showpiece, which they have consistently done.

Head to Head: Matches: 141, Won by Australia: 95, Won by New Zealand: 39, NR: 7.

Australia holds a big advantage against New Zealand in H2H.

Players to look out for: Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Mitchell Santner, Trent Boult, and Lockie Ferguson will be the crucial players for New Zealand.

David Warner, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Adam Zampa, Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, and Glenn Maxwell will be the key players for Australia.

Australia squad: Pat Cummins (c), Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Sean Abbott, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc.

New Zealand squad: Kane Williamson (c), Trent Boult, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitch Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Will Young.
