A Trans-Tasman rivalry sets things off on October 28, 2023 when Australia take on New Zealand at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. (Match Blog |Scorecard | Key Battles | Full Coverage)
In what promises to be a repeat of the 2015 World Cup final, the Kiwis will look to get back on winning track after their six-wicket loss to India at the same venue. The Kiwis will be buoyed by the performances of Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell coming into this contest. Mitchell scored a well-made century against India but it went in a losing cause.
The Kiwis are still without their regular skipper Kane Willamson whereas Tim Southee is yet to feature after nursing an injury.
As for the Aussies, their massive 309-win over the Netherlands surely would have boosted their Net Run Rate. In what was a historic win over the Dutch, Pat Cummins' side are blooming at the perfect time of the World Cup. David Warner, Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell are all back in prime form whereas Adam Zampa continues to impress with the ball.
