The 13th match of World Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between New Zealand and Australia on Saturday, 22nd October 2022 at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney

New Zealand had recently faced Pakistan and Bangladesh in their home conditions in a tri-series and they were the runner-up team as they lost the final match against Pakistan. They were beaten by Australia in the final of the previous season of the ICC T20 World Cup and now have a golden chance to take revenge. Daryl Mitchell will not be part of the final playing eleven for this match and this can be a massive blow to New Zealand. He will join the team in the second match against Afghanistan. Martin Guptill had been in excellent form and had scored 592 runs in the most recent 20 innings with an average of near about 30 and we are sure that he will prove a game-changer for the blackcaps.

Martin Guptill will be leading the batting order of New Zealand with Glenn Phillips and Kane Williamson. Kane Williamson had represented in 91 T20 matches and had scored 2225 runs in 79 innings. He takes some time to adjust on the pitch and once he starts firing, no bowler can stop him. The batting order of New Zealand is strong and experienced and we are sure that they will give it a tough time to the bowlers. Batting is not a problem for New Zealand but we think that they are thin in the bowling department. Ish Sodhi is their leading bowler but he had not been impressive in recent matches. Tim Southee has the ability to pick wickets in early overs but we don’t think that he will get help from other bowlers.

Australia is one of the strongest contenders for the ICC T20 World Cup and they are capable to defend the title. There are two major reasons behind this. One is they are playing at their home venues and know the conditions very well and another reason is that they had sent their full strength to this tournament. Steve Smith was tested as an opening batter in some previous matches and he proved this decision right. He can open the batting inning for Australia with David Warner. If this happens, we think that the skipper, Aaron Finch will be batting at number three or maybe on number four. David Warner is a hard hitter in T20 cricket and played a main role to win the title of the previous season of the ICC T20 World Cup.

Mitchell Marsh is another batter who can be dangerous in home conditions. Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc, and even Pat Cummins can bat well in the middle overs. Tim David is the new addition to the squad of Australia and had played 18 innings with 585 runs. His highest score is 92 and his average is 36.56. He is the best batter in middle overs. Matthew Wade is another big batter in the squad of Australia. The bowling department of Australia is also strong and experienced. Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Kane Richardson, Mitchell Starc, and Adam Zampa have the ability to destroy any strong batting order in the world. Ashton Agar, Marcus Stoinis, and Cameron Green can also be used as bowlers when needed.

New Zealand played 15 matches against Australia where they won five matches while Australia won 10 matches.

Australia is overall a strong team as compared to New Zealand at least on paper. According to our match prediction, Australia is the favorite team who will win this match. There are many factors that make Australia a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• Australia has a decent record while playing against New Zealand
• Australia is the T20 champion and they have full strength available for this match
• David Warner, Aaron Finch, Gleen Maxwell, and Tim David can be dangerous against the bowlers of New Zealand
• The bowling unit of Australia is also strong than New Zealand

Australia is full of experienced and young players in the t20 format. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match against Australia have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

Australia has a 60% chance to win this match

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 13th match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 180 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Sydney is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
