New Zealand may have to call up their half-time bowler as they want to avenge their two crushing losses
Great picture
There will be more important T20 matches for both sides to play later in the year, but the deciding contest for this series is a great opportunity for them to hone their skills in tournament-style play. Australia has played must-win for the last two games, producing impressive wins, and it feels as if while they are gathering confidence it has ebbed away from New Zealand.
The New Zealand coach, Gary Stead, is pretty blunt after Friday’s defeat in saying he thought his team was taking a step back with the bat. There is limited scope for change with the 13 man squad they have for this series so it looks like the same top-tier will leave again, but there is pressure on Team Seifert in the series which is disappointing to him.
Spin is expected to play another big role and Australia has deeper options with the trio of Ashton Agar, Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell doing an incredible job yesterday. Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi are impressive too, but maybe Kane Wiliamson should use himself this time.
Immediately after the match, the Australian squad will head to Wellington airport and board their charter flight back to Sydney. Players from states with open borders to New Zealand (excluding Auckland) do not need to be quarantined but those from places where regulations are in place could potentially face isolation depending on whether they return straight away.
This is the last international cricket that the Australian men’s team has confirmed in the schedule for quite a while (with the exception of England who may not be back in the final Test against India) although there may be a mid-year whiteball tour of the Caribbean ahead of the final. preparations for the T20 World Cup. For New Zealand, their home season ends later this month with the ODI and T20I draws against Bangladesh.

Australia WWLLW
In the spotlight
The more complex the surface, the more preferred the player Kane Williamson can be important. The captaincy could be just what New Zealand need to overcome their batting struggles in the last two games and Williamson’s skill could follow the pattern set by Aaron Finch in hitting through one half depending on how early he reaches the fold. He could also have an important role to play with the ball – he hasn’t played in the T20I since February 2018 but was close to appearing in the last game and other spin options may be more suitable than Kyle Jamieson’s pace.
While spinners tend to take up the middle, Kane RichardsonCutters also proved hugely influential in the fourth game as he took 3 out of 19. He was a frequent part of the Australian T20I team but prior to his home season was interrupted by opting out of the India series due to biosecure restrictions. bubble to stay with his family he has played 12 games in a row. He is sure he will get a spot for the T20 World Cup even when the other players return.
Team news
After confirming that they will not work out another round of options into the squad, there are limits on what New Zealand can do. Jamieson has a tough series and they could, in the end, consider replacing him with Mark Chapman and changing rounds from half-time but it’s a risky choice.
New Zealand (probable) 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Tim Seifert, 3 Kane Williamson (captain), 4 Devon Conway, 5 Glenn Phillips, 6 Jimmy Neesham, 7 Mitchell Santner, 8 Kyle Jamieson, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Ish Sodhi, 11 Trent Boult
D’Arcy Short, Ben McDermott, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff and Tanveer Sangha haven’t seen match time on tour (Ashton Turner is back home for the birth of his son) but a winning combination could be given the chance to seal it a draw. Short’s left wrist can fit into the equation just as much as the punch, while the uncovered legspinner Sangha would be an interesting and daring option.
Australia (probable) 1 Aaron Finch, 2 Matthew Wade (wk), 3 Josh Philippe, 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Ashton Agar, 8 Jhye Richardson, 9 Kane Richardson, 10 Adam Zampa, 11 Riley Meredith
Pitch and conditions
Despite expectations that the pitch would change, both sides were surprised by the way he played on Friday. It will not be used further until the current determination of the men’s and women’s matches has been altered so that the conditions are likely to be very similar. One concern is that the morning weather forecast in Wellington is not very good with a chance of rain.
Statistics and trivia
- The eleven over spins made by Australia in the fourth match was the second most in the T20I
- Kyle Jamieson conceded 175 in the series. The record is 187 held by Team Southee although the number of series five matches is limited.

Australia will contemplate playing around with their XI to find a way to keep New Zealand in control
Great picture
The logistics have changed significantly due to the impact of the Auckland lockdown, and there won’t be a crowd to watch the rest of the game, but the challenge remains the same for Australia: they have to win three games in a row in Wellington if they are to enter the draw.
New Zealand, with a team at its best, played dynamic and confident cricket despite a sigh of relief at the end of a pulsating contest in Dunedin where the game was almost snatched away. Marcus Stoinis and Daniel Sams.
Australia has identified that it was the post-powerplay period, the pre-death period with the ball in which they particularly struggled to match New Zealand’s. From 7-16 overs they conceded 11.35 and only took three goals, while the home team had done 9.02 runs per over and claimed 10 goals.
Return to form Martin Guptill in Dunedin marked another box for New Zealand with most players now contributing in the first two games. However, Team Seifert had started with two low scores and a Kyle Jamieson had struggled during 56 years in Dunedin.
Both squads have unusually long breaks between matches. Auckland-based New Zealand players returning home briefly had to leave the city immediately when the lockdown was announced and undergo preventive Covid-19 tests which all came back negative on Monday. New Zealand were the first international team to play behind closed doors during the pandemic, against Australia at SCG last March, but this will be the first time since then.

Australia LIGHT
In the spotlight
Glenn Maxwell has yet to score in a draw with a score of 1 and 3. In the opening game he brushed off a new swinging ball to slip and in the second set was well caught by a short third person on a reverse sweep. Where he comes is dedicated by how many wickets Australia has lost and the ideal scenario is a base to work on but some sensible remaining. Depending on the balance of Australia’s attack, it could be that the offspring are used up a bit more after taking down a series so far.
Trent Boult has impressed in two contrasting stages of innings in the first two games. In Christchurch he found movement with a new ball and claimed an early goal to close the game, then in Dunedin produced an over that gave New Zealand some breathing room at death when he scored just six in the 18th minute against brutal bats Stoinis and Sams. . He has been the fastest runner on both sides.
Team news
Jamieson’s place could come under pressure after two expensive matches although there will be a desire to show confidence in him. Hamish Bennett is another bowling option in the squad. There seems little reason to change the batting.
New Zealand (probable) 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Tim Seifert, 3 Kane Williamson (captain), 4 Devon Conway, 5 Glenn Phillips, 6 Jimmy Neesham, 7 Mitchell Santner, 8 Kyle Jamieson, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Ish Sodhi, 11 Trent Boult
Australia coach Andrew McDonald hinted at a change or two made even though he did before the second game and it became the same XI. There may be a chance that they amplify their attack speed, perhaps with Andrew Tye or Jason Behrendorff, at the expense of the spinners, even though Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa are given a vote of confidence, or step up their punches and count on more overs from everyone.
Australia (presumably) 1 Aaron Finch, 2 Josh Philippe, 3 Matthew Wade (wk), 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Daniel Sams, 8 Ashton Agar / Andrew Tye / Jason Behrendorff / D’Arcy Short, 9 Jhye Richardson, 10 Kane Richardson, 11 Adam Zampa
Pitch and conditions
The Cake Tin, as it is known colloquially, has the lowest running rate (8.03) any T20I place in New Zealand. One of the peculiarities is that the team does not train on the pitch, but instead uses the Basin Reserve, so the visitors don’t have much change to judge the conditions even though with three games in a row there is time for Australia to get used to them. . Weather forecast for a cloudy but dry night.

“One thing we can control is our bowling. We’ll see how we use our bowling in that regard [middle] game phase. Obviously as hitting units we were trying to be aggressive in that period of time. More about how we maintained the New Zealand batter and what matches we used in that time period, I would say where we got the most out of our performance. “
Andrew McDonald
“It’s really different. In the end, think it depends on the individual’s attitude about it and how they respond. Of course we like to play in front of the crowd, but in this Covid era we have to be able to adapt and that’s something we are proud of and hope for. You still see a very good performance from us. “

New Zealand will be hoping for more from their top three but mid-sequence, led by Devon Conway, offers significant depth
Great picture
Australia needs to recover quickly in the second match of the series played off the pitch at Hagley Oval. It looked good at the start when they claimed three goals in the powerplay, however Devon ConwayThe 99 experts lifted New Zealand to a hefty number and then they claimed four goals in an fielding ban.
The fact that this match, which marks Dunedin’s first T20I, is a daily match likely means less fluctuation in conditions as the match progresses although if there is a chance to make a swing, Team Southee and Trent Boult are as good as anyone in finding it.
Australia refused to use two weeks of managed isolation as an excuse for their opening performance – they have been able to train to a high level in that period – but hope that the right match allows them to prepare. The advantage of this five-game series is that there is a chance to bounce back.
Jhye Richardson’s return to international cricket promising enough and Mitchell Marsh looks to be in decent form with that stick, but other than that the results are slim from Christchurch. New Zealand will expect the better of their top three, but their mid-sequence form – led by Conway – means they have the depth and confidence to rebuild.

In the spotlight
Aaron Finch and Martin Guptill came to this series with a question mark over the shape and neither of them survived their respective first innings. The two also fell in very similar fashion, directing the catch to the point, although Finch’s placement was more of a problem as he hit the ball cleanly. They each have strong T20I records (Finch average 37.06 and Guptill 31.20 with two centuries each) but with the others pressing for a chance at the top, or key players to return, some runs will come in handy.
Ball swinging has long been the downside of Australia’s batting orders and while daylight conditions in Dunedin may make it less of a factor, it will be interesting to see how they counter it if there is a move. The T20 doesn’t give a lot of time to show bowlers caution but may need to be a little more wary of Southee and Boult before catching up on the others.
Team news
Mark Chapman and Hamish Bennett were two members of the squad who weren’t used in the first game, but unless there’s a distraction, or a desire to rotate, there’s no need to make changes.
New Zealand (probable) 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Tim Seifert, 3 Kane Williamson (captain), 4 Devon Conway, 5 Glenn Phillips, 6 Jimmy Neesham, 7 Mitchell Santner, 8 Kyle Jamieson, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Ish Sodhi, 11 Trent Boult
Australia leaves with an extra allrounder (Daniel Sams) on Monday and may need to consider whether it’s worthy of a fast specialist – perhaps Jason Behrendorff’s left arm – instead. Despite the shoddy turnaround of batting displays, there is little chance at the start of the series.
Australia (probable) 1 Aaron Finch, 2 Josh Philippe, 3 Matthew Wade (wk), 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Ashton Agar, 8 Jhye Richardson, 9 Kane Richardson, 10 Adam Zampa, 11 Jason Behrendorff
Pitch and conditions
With this being Oval University’s first T20I there is no continuing history, but the recent Super Smash gave an indication that it could be a high score. The Central District makes 223 while in other matches the North District hits 191. The weather forecast is for a dry but cool day.

“Obviously the result didn’t go our way, but we did a lot of good things, especially in the early bowling innings. With our batting I think it was one of those things, New Zealand did really well bowling and got the ball moving and catching it. we were a little off guard. “
