ICC World Cup 2023: New Zealand vs Australia- Match Preview, Odds, and Predictions on Betadda

Australia and New Zealand will clash at ICC World Cup 2023 in a highly-anticipated fixture, set to take place on 28 October 2023, at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, from 10:30 AM onwards.  The last World Cup encounter between New Zealand and Australia was held at Lord’s, in London. Australia emerged triumphant with a win of 86 runs, which secured them a place in the semifinals. Both are formidable teams, but the Kangaroos have a more experienced side compared to the Kiwis.

Pitch Report

Over the years, this ground has favoured batsmen, offering them a platform to showcase their skills. The presence of grey skies and a noticeable chill in the air is expected to tip the scales in favour of the bowlers. In light of these conditions, opting to bat first would be a prudent decision.

Players Face-Off 

Legendary Australian cricketer, David Warner, has an impressive batting record with 6214 runs in only 145 matches. He will be taking on New Zealand’s Trent Boult in the initial over, who has an impressive 190 wickets in just 100 matches, in his kitty.
