Topmost Picks for AUS vs NZ Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Australia

• David Warner – Warner has found form ahead of the World Cup and there can’t be a better news for Australia. Warner smoked a couple of blazing fifties against the West Indies and also played a 32 run knock in the 1st T20I vs New Zealand.
• Adam Zampa – While bowlers are going to have a tough job in the T20I series, Zampa could be a game changer for Australia.

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Finn  Allen – Finn Allen has been in great form in this format of the game. He played a 32 run knock in the 1st T20I. Against Pakistan, he was New Zealand’s top batter and scored 275 runs in five matches, including a century.
• Lockie Ferguson – While other bowlers were taken part by the Aussie bowlers in the 1st T20I, Ferguson only went for 23 runs in 4 overs.

AUS vs NZ Probable Winners:

Both New Zealand and Australia will be hoping to improve their chances of winning the T20 World Cup later this year, so they will want to get off to a good start in this series. New Zealand has depth with both bat and ball, but looking at players individually, it is difficult to look beyond the visitors. We predict a close game, but we believe Australia will win in Wellington. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.
