Australia vs New Zealand: Australia Tour of New Zealand 2024
In February and March 2024, the Australian cricket team will be touring New Zealand to play three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and two Test matches against the New Zealand cricket team. As two of the most elite cricket teams in the world compete for the Chappell-Hadlee Series and Trans-Tasman Trophy, this tour will be an exciting one.
Australia vs New Zealand T20I Series
In preparation for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, which will take place in the West Indies and the United States in 2024, the T20I series will be a great opportunity for both teams to practice their skills and strategies. On February 21, the three-match series will begin at Sky Stadium in Wellington, followed by two matches at Eden Park in Auckland on February 23 and 25. In India Standard Time, the matches will begin at 11:40 a.m. (7:00 p.m. local time).
During the T20I series, Australia will be led by Mitchell Marsh, who has been selected as the captain. Among the best T20 players in the world, Marsh will be able to rely on the support of some of the world’s best T20 players, including Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, David Warner, and Adam Zampa. In New Zealand, where Australia has won just two of nine T20Is, they will be seeking to improve on their record.
It is expected that New Zealand will continue to dominate the T20I format at home, where they have won 10 out of 11 matches in recent weeks. They will be boosted by the return of Kane Williamson, who missed the recent series of T20I matches against India because of an injury. In addition to Williamson, there will be some of the most dynamic and versatile players in the format, including Martin Guptill, Devon Conway, Tim Seifert, Jimmy Neesham, Trent Boult, and Ish Sodhi.
New Zealand vs Australia Test Series 2024Â
There will be a test series in 2023-2025 that will be a part of the ICC World Test Championship, which is the second edition of the tournament, and is designed to determine the best Test team in the world. A two-match series of matches will begin on February 29 at Basin Reserve in Wellington, and conclude on March 12 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The match will begin at 11:00 a.m. local time (3:30 a.m. IST).
This year, Australia will look to retain the Trans-Tasman Trophy, which they have held since 2016. The visiting side will be led by Tim Paine, who has been one of the most successful captains in Test history, with 18 victories out of 26 matches under his belt. As a captain, Paine will be privileged to have some of the best Test players in the country at his disposal, including Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, David Warner, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon. The Australian team will be keen to bounce back from their recent Test series loss against India at home, which ended their 19-year unbeaten streak at the Gabba.
Test Series | Cricket PredictionÂ
This time around, New Zealand will seek to reclaim the Trans-Tasman Trophy, which was last won in 2011. Kane Williamson is the current number one ranked batsman in Test cricket with a 54.31 average, and he will be leading the hosts. There will be some of the most consistent and reliable players that will be supporting Williamson in the longest format, such as Tom Latham, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Kyle Jamieson, Neil Wagner, and Tim Southee, who will be playing for the first time. As a result, New Zealand will be confident of their chances, since they haven’t lost a Test series at home since 2017.
