NZ vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, match preview, and Fantasy Cricket Tips. New Zealand and Australia will play against each other in the 5th T20I match at Westpac Stadium, Wellington.
New Zealand:
After making a perfect start in the series, New Zealand is now in trouble as they have lost two matches in a row, and now they need to win the final game of the series. They performed poorly in the last game as they lost by 50 runs.
After performing well in the 2nd and 3rd matches, Martin Guptill got out early in the last game. Tim Seifert, who struggled to score runs this series, finally managed to score runs but was very slow. Kane Williamson once again got out early in the last match.
Devon Conway has been batting decently in the middle-order but did not score much in the last match. Glenn Phillips is yet to play a big inning this series. Jimmy Neesham has also been struggling with the previous two games. In the end, Jamieson batted well, scoring 30 runs, but he couldn’t make his team win.
The bowling department performed well by not allowing the opposition to score freely and restricted the opposition to a decent score. Ish Sodhi has been the consistent wicket-taker for NZ in this series and picked up three wickets in the last match. Boult has also been bowling well and managed to pick up two wickets, and Santner managed to pick up a wicket.
New Zealand would be a bit tensed as they have lost two matches, and now they must win the final game to win the series.
Australia:
Australia has made a solid comeback by winning two back-to-back matches, and they put up an excellent all-round performance to win the last game.
Skipper Aaron Finch is getting back to form as he scored fifty in the last two matches. Matthew Wade has not scored much in this series, and at No.3, Josh Philippe has been batting decently and providing stability to the team but got out early in the last match.
In the middle-order, Maxwell and Stoinis have played a couple of good innings, scoring runs at a rapid rate. Mitchell Marsh has scored a decent amount of runs. Ashton Agar got out for a duck twice in this series.
The bowling unit has been performing brilliantly from the last two matches. Ashton Agar and Kane Richardson have been bowling well for Australia and have picked up most wickets. Zampa and Maxwell were also good with the ball in the last match picking up two wickets each. Jhye Richardson has been bowling well but has been struggling to pick up wickets.
Australia would be hoping to continue their winning momentum and win the series by winning the last match.
