NZ vs AUS 1st T20I Predicted XI, Bay Oval Pitch Report: New Zealand will lock horns with Australia for a three-match white-ball series, where the 1st T20I will be held on Wednesday, October 1, at Bay Oval. New Zealand is entering this series after having a brilliant away season.

They recently beat Zimbabwe in a two-match Test series by 2-0 and had also won the tri-series, which included teams like Zimbabwe and South Africa. Even though there are some players who are injured, they will aim to continue their winning streak in their backyard. Michael Bracewell will be leading the team from the front, whereas players like Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, Tim Seifert, and Matt Henry are also part of the team.

At the same time, Australia will be coming into this series on the back of mixed results.

Mitchell Marsh will be leading the team, where players like Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey, and Josh Hazlewood are also part of the team.
