Today Match Predictions – ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, New Zealand vs Australia – 13th Match, Super 12 Group 1, Cricket Betting Tips and Playing XI prediction
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 is being played in Australia, and the next game is between New Zealand and Australia on 22nd October, in Sydney. This game would be a re-match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 Final, where they again face each other in a 6 pm AEDT fixture.
New Zealand has been in good form lately. They played well in a tri-series recently held in their own country against both Pakistan and Bangladesh. Their players performed well, especially the bowlers.
Australia is not in the best of forms currently. With Pat Cummins named as the next ODI captain, it would be interesting to see how the players gel well with each other during the World Cup.

AUS vs NZ – T20 2022 venue & pitch report
The Sydney Cricket Ground has been without a doubt one of the country’s finest grounds to play cricket. The pitch is quick and so is the outfield. One can expect the ball to move around during the initial phase of play, and then wear off slightly.
The weather is not looking good, with showers and mild thunderstorms predicted for the game on Saturday. So, we just hope that there is nothing of that sort on Saturday, enabling us to enjoy a good game of cricket.

Australia has always played well in the SCG, and they know the ground like the back of their hands. They would sincerely hope that the players would do a decent job in securing a win against New Zealand on Saturday.
Some of their key players to watch out for would be Aaron Finch, Pat Cummins, and Glen Maxwell. New Zealand on the other hand is doing well at the moment. Their captain, batters & bowlers are clicking well as a unit.

New Zealand vs Australia T20 today match prediction
New Zealand is a strong contender for today’s match. They are playing in fine form. Both their batters & bowlers are going a fine job at the moment. Australia may want to take advantage of the fact that they are playing in their own backyard.
Perhaps, they need to make use of the conditions better than their Trans-Tasman neighbors. Otherwise, they might find themselves on the losing side.
