With this, it would be wrong to say that the Aussies start as the favourites of the game. Even the winning probability tells us that Aaron Finch and men hold an edge over the Kiwis. Australia has a better chance of registering a win with 64% probability as compared to New Zealand 36%. Both teams have lost only one game in the tournament so far. Australia lost to India whereas Kane Williamsonâs men lost to Pakistan and this helped the Men in Green to stay in the hunt for the semi-finals of the tournament.
Australia would look to solidify their position in the World Cup by clinching yet another win and the Kiwis would want to seal a spot into the semis. Australia is expected to go with the same playing XI as Aaron Finch mentioned that he would not want to mess around with the winning combination.
