Australia have been in fine form, winning seven out of the last 10 series, with two defeats coming against India and a 1-1 draw against England. The team has adopted a very aggressive strategy where they are going after the bowlers from ball one – trying to get as many runs as possible. If the batting clicks, Australia more often than not ended up winning the game.
New Zealand too have some firepower in the batting, including the likes of Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, among others, but the contest will largely depend on how Australian batters perform on the day. Expect a lot of runs on a very good batting surface.
