Australia Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No injuries to any of the players have been reported during the series and no big changes are expected in the Australian squad for this match.
Key Players
Steven Smith, no doubt, is the star batsmen for Australia currently, with a smashing 164 in the first ODI and 72 in the second. The captain has batted in brilliant form and will hopefully score a big innings in this match as well. Apart from Smith, David Warner, who scored 119 in the second match is also very likely to lead Australia to a big victory. Matthew Wade, Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head are also expected to pitch in for a big score on the board for the team, based on their performance in the recent matches.
The bowling side has also been performing very tightly, with every bowler pitching in to limit the score of the New Zealand team. Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins have taken the most wickets, along with Mitchell Starc, James Faulkner and Adam Zampa performing stupendously as well.
Recent Form
Australia have been performing brilliantly in this series against New Zealand in both batting and bowling departments and can win the third game very easily if they continue their current form. They’ve already won the series with a lead of 2-0 and would want to win this match to make a clean sweep over the Kiwis.
AUS Predicted XI
-
David Warner, Aaron Finch, Steven Smith (c), Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Matthew Wade (wk), George Bailey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, James Faulkner, Josh Hazlewood.
New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
Team News
None of the players in the team were injured in the series and no major changes are expected in New Zealand side for this match.
Key Players
New Zealand might have lost both games against Australia but there have been some good performances by players like Martin Guptill, who scored a 119 in the first match and almost gave New Zealand a hope of winning. Apart from him, Kane Williamson, James Neesham and Colin Munro have scored well in the past two matches and will hopefully score again in this match to make their team win.
The bowling side of New Zealand is clearly weaker than that of Australia and have not performed up to the mark in the two matches that they’ve played. The only players who’ve performed decently are Matt Henry, Trent Boult, James Neesham and Tim Southee.
Recent Form
New Zealand have performed decently in the two matches in the series so far, but not good enough to win them a single match. Their batting and bowling sides are comparatively weaker than Australia and it has been pretty evident in this series.
NZ Predicted XI
-
Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Kane Williamson (c), James Neesham, Colin Munro, Tim Southee, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, BJ Watling (wk), Matt Henry, Trent Boult.
Australia vs new Zealand Head To Head
Australia have played against New Zealand on the Melbourne Cricket Ground for a total of 20 times up till now, and have won 15 matches out of those. The record itself states that the hosts have an edge over the Kiwis and are all set to win another match to increase their winning record. Australia’s last two wins over New Zealand are proof that they are in a very good form and are most likely to win the third one too.
Australia vs New Zealand Betting Odds
Australia is the obvious team to back up in this match, with a clearly better team and performance record, with their odds at 1.33 with 1xbet and bet365. New Zealand would most likely not be able to withstand the pressure of the Australian team in this match as well, their odds being 3.25 with betfair and 3.40 with bet365.
Australia vs New Zealand Prediction
Australia has been performing very well under Steven Smith and it is evident by the performance of the players and the big margins by which the team is winning matches. Although Australia has already won the series, they will still be playing hard for a whitewash win. New Zealand, on the other hand, will be playing with all their efforts put in to win this match, for the sake of their pride.
Australia are in a much better form in both batting and bowling departments and we predict them to win the match against New Zealand.
