New Zealand vs Australia 1st T20 Match Tips

Australia has been pretty dominant lately in the 20-over format, winning nine of the last ten games played and also beating New Zealand four of the last five times.

JP Inglis has definitely been playing better cricket and looks to take on the game. He really has been taking the opportunity to stand out.

I prefer the chances of Australia in this first game of the series. If they lose an early wicket or two, there is some good value with MW Short hitting a match-winning score.

If Australia faces early pressure, his calm yet aggressive batting style can anchor the innings before unleashing big shots to boost the total. Alongside his batting, David Sharp's fielding adds further value. A match-winning knock from him could easily seal victory and the award.
