AUS vs NZ Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of New Zealand Tour of Australia, 2022 For 1st ODI

AUS vs NZ: Australia will lock horns against New Zealand in the 1st ODI of the New Zealand tour of Australia, 2022 on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, at Cazaly’s Stadium, Cairns.

The Trans-Tasman rivalry returns as Australia take on New Zealand in the exhilarating three-match ODI series, starting Tuesday September 6 at Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns.

This will be the first time the two arch-rivals face each other in the One Day International since a three-match series was called off after just one match back in March 2020 owing to COVID-19 pandemic concerns.

Australia are coming into this contest on the back of a 2-1 series win over Zimbabwe. They have named the same squad that played against Zimbabwe for the ODI series against the Black Caps with only Josh Inglis coming in as a replacement for injured Mitchell Marsh. 

New Zealand, on the other hand has named a formidable squad with Kane Williamson returning to take over the captaincy duties after missing the last 2 ODIs against West Indies. They registered a historic ODI series win over West Indies soil last month and must be high on confidence. 

Both the teams are embedded with some of the best white ball players and we can expect an enthralling 50-Overs format game between the two arch-rivals. 

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 1st ODI of the New Zealand tour of Australia, 2022.

Pitch Report

The Cazaly’s Cricket Stadium in Cairns hosted only two ODI games, that too back in 2003, suggesting it will be hosting its first International game after 19 years. We can expect a balanced surface for this encounter. Both the teams will prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
