AUS vs NZ Who Will Win Match 27 ICC ODI World Cup 2023
Many cricketing experts had written Australia off after the first two games. The 5-time world champions appeared jaded just two games into the World Cup. They no longer seemed to have the aura of the Australian team of the old. But Pat Cummins led-Australia has turned the tables swiftly. They have emerged as serious contenders within a week’s time. Australia in this form will meet New Zealand in Dharamshala.
The Australian supremacy:
There is something about Australia and the World Cups. They almost always turn on the beast mode once the World Cup arrives. It has been Australia’s second nature since the 1996 World Cup. Australia is the only team to achieve a World Cup hattrick. The only time they slipped in a quarterfinal was in the 2011 World Cup. They bounced back in stunning fashion winning the 2015 World Cup at home.
Australia delivered a commendable performance in the 2019 World Cup considering the baggage the side carried. The 5-time champions walked into the 2023 World Cup with this much spoken about World Cup supremacy.
A shaky start but a strong revival:
Australia started the World Cup on a slippery note. They lost to India in Chennai and South Africa completely outplayed them in Lucknow. The side that had played non-stop cricket leading into the tournament appeared tired. Australia was looking for some inspiration. They put on an all-round effort in the game against Sri Lanka to register their first win.
The famous Aussie energy was back in action in the games against Pakistan and Netherlands. They have ticked most of the boxes and appear strong title contenders once again.
Can New Zealand stop the Aussie onslaught?
New Zealand was one of the two teams to stay unbeaten after having played 4 games. The Black Caps outplayed England in the opening game of the World Cup to put out a big statement. They made light work of both Netherlands, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. But the Kiwis fumbled in their first real test that came against India. Their scheduling is such that they are left to play all the top nations from hereon. It appears a mighty challenge for them to stop a rampaging Australian side in their tracks.
AUS vs NZ: Pitch report & conditions
The day game will ensure that dew doesn’t impact the fielding side in the second innings. Teams though will look to exploit the early morning moisture in the surface. The new ball will swing in the first half hour or so. New Zealand’s biggest strength in such conditions is their bowling. Their only real chance is to pick up early wickets. Any score in the range of 280+ will post a challenge for the side chasing.
AUS vs NZ Prediction
The Aussies have the wood over the kiwis in ODI World Cups. Australia has won 8 games to New Zealand’s 3. They look the stronger side of the two. New Zealand though flourish in such a scenario when they are labeled underdogs. This contest may well prove to be the first cliffhanger of the World Cup!
