It’s Australia vs Newzealand today, the pressure will be both the teams equally and newzealand do have even more as their batters are slightly edging behind as compare to what Australian side is, one will find Australian batting line up is full of superstars whereas newzealand lacks behind but don’t rule out of their own peril, because newzealand is a team who works with processes for a longer time period and stick to their plans , surely they would have make up a plan for David Warner to get him out early the game plan shall be bowling slower ones and not giving pace , captain Kane shall plan to make Trent Boult facing him, full length ball and left arm pacers will move ball away from left handers that will make him trouble a lot for sure. Whereas Australian skipper Aaron finch gonna have some serious trouble with ball coming into the stumps and that too when your opposition team has Boult who will make him trouble from the very first ball.
As going down the order they have Steven Smith who didn’t got much opportunity to show in worldcup but didn’t look much comfortable as averaging 23 with strike rate of 97, which is bizzare from any player, but who knows T20 is a game where it just require one player to blaze in a game and BANG!!!
Talking about the middle order and lower middle order powerhouse namely, Marcus stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell marsh. The imposter over here is Glenn Maxwell, having absolutely sensational IPL for RCB looked bizzare in worldcup, would think of Michell satner will troubling him with his tight lines. Captain Kane shall block his reverse sweep and switch hits by making a fielder stand at deep extra cover fielder(sweeper cover), cover point which will make Maxwell suffocate for sure.
Marcus stoinis and Mitchell marsh are the biggest threat to newzealand tonight. They are absolutely red hot form , marsh is just being an underrated all rounder whereas Marcus stoinis is big giant for Aussies from last 24 months in limited overs cricket
Newzealand batting looks simple and sorted as they are focused side, they believe what are the things in their hands rather than going out of the box. They being a nice student in this tournament so far as I am concerned. Opening with Daryl Mitchell and Martin Guptill the partnership is blazing guns , and from AUSSIES POV they are a threat , if they found out there way to dismiss both of them within 5-6 th over then Aussies will having great night today, as far as I’m concerned, Kane Williamson bats looks silent even after he scored 40 odd runs vs Afghanistan but was even less than run a ball so he didn’t looked being a threat but a GLUE for NZ batting line-up for sure as they do have powerhitters at top as Kane will bring balance in middle , To stop him ,one can plan for gully, flying slips(rarely used by any captain) and a short thirdman to avoid his bread and butter shot for a single behind the wickets maintaining a pressure on him which will make him play non cricketing shots, whereas to go with , Jimmy Neesham is a man of big stages , he performs wherever he plays at grand matches as seen in last cricket world cup 2019
Talking about Australian bowling attack, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, josh Hazelwood, Adam zampa, and a 4 over aggregatively from Marcus stoinis and Glenn Maxwell, being a imposters like Mitchell Starc and Cummins look very ordinary as they hardly performed as per their reputation.
Newzealand bowling attack looks like sorted and in form players like Tim Southee, Adam milne, Mitchell satner, ish Sodhi, and James Neesham bowling handy good spells, the pitch will suit the fast bowlers hoping for the best contest from both the powerhouses of this tournament
