New Delhi: Neighboring countries Australia and New Zealand will battle it out in an enthralling encounter of the ICC World Twenty20 campaign in a Super 10, Group 2 match at the HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala on Friday.
New Zealand got off to a flier in the coveted tournament after beating favourites India in Nagpur. The Black Caps look a solid unit under Kane Williamson, who isn't afraid to make crucial decisions regarding the team composition in respect to the conditions.
