Head-to-Head

In their T20I history, Australia leads with 20 wins to New Zealand’s 11 across 33 matches. The Aussies whitewashed New Zealand 3-0 in 2023, but the Kiwis stunned with a 3-0 sweep in 2018. Recent form favors Australia, as they have been unbeaten in their last five matches against New Zealand. However, injuries might level the field this time.
