Australia (AUS) and New Zealand (NZ) will play in the 27th match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 on October 28 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. Australia’s performance in the competition has been inconsistent, beginning with defeats to South Africa and India. They did, however, pick up steam after victories over Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands.
Meanwhile, New Zealand started the campaign strong, winning four games in a row. They crushed both Netherlands and England, winning both their opening two games by a combined score of 99 runs and nine wickets, respectively. They defeated Afghanistan by 49 runs and England by eight wickets to extend their winning run. Nevertheless, they lost to India by four wickets in their most recent game, ending their winning run.
With intermittent victories in 1992, 1999, and 2015, New Zealand has always failed to outperform their Oceanian competitors in the World Cup. But the Kiwis appear set to be the favorite in this year’s match. When they play their neighboring opponents, New Zealand will want to take advantage of the vulnerabilities that Australia exhibits. Let’s look at the predicted weather for the next game.
