Australia vs. New Zealand T20 World Cup Betting Preview 2022

Aussie vs Kiwis! We take a look at the Australian team to see if they are a good bet or multi-addition against the New Zealand Black Caps at T20 World Cup Tournament, as well as their overall betting value.

Because Australia has won their previous three Twenty20 matches against New Zealand and because they are attempting to defend their World Cup title, bettors will be focusing their attention on the first match for both of these countries.

Mitch Marsh’s clutch batting performance was the deciding factor in Australia’s victory over New Zealand in last year’s final. This demonstrates that Australia is capable of beating New Zealand in high-stakes matches.

The New Zealand national team enters the competition in poor form, having dropped three of their previous four Twenty20 matches, all of which were played against other teams from the Super 12 conference.

Even though their odds to win this game are pretty low, sitting at $1.55, the Australians are an exceptionally good team at home and can provide a great short priced bet or handy multi addition.

Match Odds

  • Australia: $1.55
  • 2.62 New Zealand Dollars

Would Australia Be Able To Have Yet Another Perfect Beginning?

The New Zealand national team will likely still be emotionally damaged as a result of their defeat in the World Cup Final last year, and they may have second thoughts about playing Australia once more this coming weekend.

The fact that the usual stars for the Australians were not the shining light in the finals last year really displayed the depth that their squad has available to them.

Matthew Wade and Mitchell Marsh were the heroes for Australia in the previous season, and they demonstrate that this team does not need to rely solely on big names like Glenn Maxwell and Steve Smith to make runs in order to be successful.

It is of the utmost importance for Australia to get off to a strong start in order to calm their nerves and win over the support of their home fans. The Australians have also won their opening match in each of the previous three T20 World Cups; one of those victories came against New Zealand in the most recent tournament.

Australia is going to be a solid bet or multi addition because Mitchell Starc is in form (he usually lifts for major tournaments), and New Zealand needs more time to build into this tournament because it is taking place away from home.

The Finch Is The Barometer For Australia

Aaron Finch has been the most talked about player for Australia over the past few years. Despite the fact that he has been struggling to make consistent runs, many people believe that he is only in the side because he has proven to be a reliable captain.

His batting performance over the past year has been very bad, as evidenced by the fact that he has only two half centuries across all formats and numerous scores under 10 to show for it. Because Finch is such an important component for Australia at the top of the batting order in T20 matches, the team typically comes out on top when he scores 30 or more runs.

Finch has made scores of 76 and 44 in the two games leading up to this tournament, which boosts his confidence for the major tournaments even though he has not been in form this year.

Finch had four matches in the World Cup from the previous year in which he scored 40 or more runs; Australia won three of those matches. If he manages to do the same thing this time around, the Australians have a shot at winning it all.

The Picks

  • 1.55 dollars for Australia to come out on top
  • Australia had the highest opening partnership price, at $1.80

With Finch getting back into some form, his confidence will be up to lead his side in this category once again. Australia has had the highest opening partnership in their last two games, and they will likely continue to lead the pack.
