New Zealand came into this World Cup silent again and is now on the verge of qualifying for another Semi-Final. The Trans-Tasman contest though is a challenge for them still. They do not have a great record against Australia in World Cups and against a rejuvenated Australian team they will have their challenges.

Australia are progressing well. They found their rhythm and the likes of David Warner and Glenn Maxwell are bossing the tournament at the moment. David Warner in particular has been consistent in yet another ICC Event. Their may be a reshuffle in the line-up with Travis Head likely to come back and the batting line-up dropping a place.

AUS vs NZ Pitch Report

The Dharamshala track is good for run-scoring but can offer the Pacers some help due to the high altitude. Runs on the board have been the winning strategy so far though which could prompt sides to bat first after winning the toss.

AUS vs NZ Key Players

David Warner

David Warner has been at his best so far. He is looking in menacing form and will be hoping to feast on the New Zealand bowlers. The new-ball may challenge him though but after that he should be fine at a ground he is familiar with.

Mitchell Santner

Mitchell Santner has stood out this year. He is among the leading wicket-takers in the tournament and has had his moment to shine on turning tracks. He has a good record against Australia and will be key in the middle period.

AUS vs NZ Match Tips

New Zealand are doing a pretty good job here and have had a break after their previous loss. They will have a challenge though with Australia known to have a really good record against them.

Match Prediction: Australia Will Win the Match
