Australia hasn’t made any change in the team while Tim Seifert comes on the place of Conway in New Zealand’s team.
New Zealand has reached in the final of 2015 and 2019 ODI World Cup but unfortunately it didn’t win both the finals. It has won first Test Cricket championship this year and now black caps will try to win the T20 World Cup.
This year, there will be new T20 Champion. Australia and New Zealand were not the strong contenders of T20 World Cup despite they reached in the semi-final. Both the teams have many strong players.
New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell and James Neesham are in good form while Australia’s David Warner and Matthew Wade also played well in the semi-final against Pakistan.
