They may not be the world champions in 50-over cricket, but they’re certainly among the best, are the mighty Australians. Now, Australia will have another chance to flaunt their prowess in a home series against their neighbours New Zealand, the latter recently hosting India at home and ending successful after beating India 3-0 in the ODI series.
Between 13-20 March 2020, the two teams will play a series of 3 ODIs in this short and sweet series and it’s a chance for Australia to prove themselves in the 50-over format, having recently lost 0-3 to South Africa and 1-2 to India prior to that in the ODI format.

Australia
There’s so much of hype over the Steve Smith and David Warner duo that you might tend to oversee captain Aaron Finch who has actually been more consistent that ever before in his career, with 3 fifties and a century (109*) in his last 8 professional games, so he should surely be in your AUS vs NZ fantasy team. As for Warner, he’s had a quiet time with a best score of just 35 in 3 recent ODIs against South Africa.
Middle-order batsman Marnus Labuschagne has seen the quickest rise among Aussie batsmen and has to be in your team as well, with 1 fifty and 1 century in 6 career ODIs so far. Another player I’ll very much want in my team is Mitchell Marsh who has fought his way back into this team and should be picked even though he’s only managed 2 wickets in his last 10 professional games. Must-have with the ball – Adam Zampa.
New Zealand
Captain Kane Williamson has 4 fifties and a century in his last 10 international games, as consistent as ever, and he should be in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy team even though he’s be an expensive pick. Another top order batsman who has been extremely consistent with 3 fifties and a century in his last 5 games is Martin Guptill and he’ll be looking to capitalize on this form in Australia.
All-rounders are key and that’s why James Neesham shouldn’t be left out, having scored 2 fifties and picked 8 wickets in his last 2 First Class games for Wellington not too long ago. Just like him, we have a wicket-taking option in Kyle Jamieson who has impressed since his debut with 9 wickets in 2 Tests and 3 in 2 ODIs against India recently, while also smashing a few with the bat when required off him.
