New Zealand have proved to be the surprise packet of World Cup 2023. Australia who have won the trophy the most times (five) in the past have not done as well. However, with a win over Pakistan, the Aussies have got their campaign back on track. The meeting on 28 October between the trans-Tasman neighbours could be a thriller.

Weather and Pitch Report
Dharamsala will experience sunny weather on 28 October. The temperature will range between 20 degrees Celsius in the afternoon and 13 degrees at night.
The wicket at Dharamsala is a sporting wicket in the true sense of the word. It provides some assistance to bowlers, both pacemen and spinners. However, batters who spend enough time to gauge the behaviour of the wicket can make big scores.
Australia vs New Zealand Today Prediction: New Zealand to Win
With key players injured at the wrong time, Australia have struggled to get the right eleven on the field. However, Travis Head is due to return to cricketing action. Labuschagne may have to make way for him. Agar is the other key player whose injury kept him out of the World Cup squad. Fortunately for Australia, Adam Zampa is rediscovering his best form. Although Maxwell has not batted to potential, the allrounder has fitted in as the second spinner.
The batting exploits of Warner and Marsh were the brightest spots in Australia’s win against Pakistan. Cummins showed some glimpses of his best bowling form. On the whole, Australia appear better than they were at the start of the competition.
After India, New Zealand are arguably the strongest team in the competition. Even without Williamson, they have enough batsmen to tide them over to a good total. Rachin Ravindra is arguably the best find of the tournament. The left hander’s ability to slog in the powerplay has given New Zealand good starts. Conway is arguably among the world’s top five batters. In Mitchell, Phillips and Latham, the Kiwis have a reliable middle order.
New Zealand’s bowling has been exemplary, with Santner the standout performer. Boult has proved that age is only a number. While Ferguson has impressed with his raw pace, Henry has hit the right lengths to trouble the best rival batters.
Overall, a combination of team balance and confidence gives New Zealand the edge over Australia.
