Who will win today’s match? We will answer this question in this article next:
New Zealand Preview
New Zealand are coming off a 2-0 series win in Tests against South Africa while prior to that, they defeated Pakistan by 4-1 in T20Is.
The set up is perfect for the Kiwis in the World Cup despite unavailability of few players. But Australia is the toughest opponent in this home season for them and they will be challenged on this tour.
New Zealand - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Devon Conway plays his best cricket against Australia. He might be struggling at the moment for some reasons but the left-hander is a talented batter and will take a lot of confidence from his last knock of 92 runs against the Aussies.
Conway has played 44 T20Is smashing 1275 runs and will have to bring his all his experience into account to play a match-winning knock for his side.

New Zealand - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Tim Southee is ageing like a fine wine it seems. The man is performing better with age at the moment and he will be itching to put his best foot forward against the Aussies.
He has the experience of playing 121 T20I matches in his career and has also picked up 157 wickets which makes him a candidate to become the best bowler for New Zealand.

Australia Preview
Australia, meanwhile, will be led by Mitchell Marsh despite the presence of ODI World Cup winning captain Pat Cummins.
They seem to be clear about their World Cup plans but this could be their only series with a full strength squad before the mega event. The visitors are also coming into this series on the back of a 2-1 series win over West Indies at home.
Australia - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Small grounds will certainly excite Glenn Maxwell to play his best cricket in Wellington. The man played a brilliant knock of 120 runs in the second T20I against the West Indies smashing his record fifth century in the format.
Maxwell has the ability to turn the game upside down in no time which makes him the ultimate match winner.
