Analysis
Kane Williamson’s team hasn’t had the best results ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022. They lost a tri-series at home and suffered an embarrassing defeat against South Africa. In both losses, the Blackcaps' batting was their biggest weakness. Captain Williamson has scored runs but his low strike rate has also led to the team’s struggles.
For Australia, Josh Inglis’s untimely injury has created a lot of issues for a settled team. But the Finch-led side has added Cameron Green, who has been in good form and can bat anywhere from 1 to 7. Glenn Maxwell’s form is also a major issue as he has put up six single-digit scores.
