AUS vs NZ, World Cup 2023 Match 27: Team news
Historically, Australia dominated New Zealand at the World Cup, winning eight of their 11 matches. The 2019 game also went well, thanks to the energetic Mitchell Starc, with a bowling record of 5-26 and a defense of 244 points for him.
After some initial difficulties, Australia found a rhythm with wins over Sri Lanka, Pakistan and the Netherlands. Glenn Maxwell scored the World Cup’s fastest ton in just 40 balls against the Netherlands, solving most of the confusion in the midfield. Adam Zampa was once again the bowling ace after suffering a back injury in the first two matches. Zampa currently leads the bowling charts with 13 wickets, with records of 4-47, 4-53 and 4-8 in his last three appearances.
Australia are aiming to insert the fit-tempered opener Travis Head into their starting lineup, which means the in-form Mitchell Marsh will play in his preferred one-down position. This personnel change also pushes Steve Smith to his No. 4 spot.
New Zealand, on the other hand, suffered a contrasting fortune, losing in the final to India, the only unbeaten team in the tournament. Tom Latham will continue to take on a leadership role in the absence of captain Kane Williamson, who is recovering from a broken thumb.
