Defending champions Australia are all set to start their T20 World Cup campaign with a match against New Zealand on Saturday. The match between Australia and New Zealand, opening encounter of the Super 12 stage, will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Australia had to concede a defeat at the hands of India in the warm-up game but the hosts have been in outstanding form in T20Is in the past 12 months. Aussie batter Cameron Green did manage to secure his spot in the T20 World Cup squad but the 23-year-old will really find it hard to feature in a game. In the bowling department, the Aaron Finch-led side will depend a lot on speedster Mitchell Starc and spinner Adam Zampa.
New Zealand, on the other hand, will certainly miss the services of their last T20 World Cup’s hero Daryl Mitchell in the opening encounter. The all-rounder was ruled out of the match against Australia due to his finger injury.
