New Zealand vs Australia Chance of Winning
Australia convincingly triumphed in the T20I series against New Zealand, securing a 3-0 victory. Australia went on to win the first Test of the series by a huge margin. They always aim to bat first, score heavily, and secure a win. This strategy paid off again in their recent victory at the Basin Reserve, Wellington. Australia seems to be in their element as they continue to dominate New Zealand in longer cricket matches.
In the first Test against Australia, New Zealand faced familiar challenges with missed chances and struggled to match their bowling with their batting. While their batters performed decently, Nathan Lyon's spin proved troublesome. To end their winless streak against Australia at home, New Zealand must devise strategies to counter Lyon's threat and make the most of their opportunities.
New Zealand's chance of winning: 27%
Australia' chance of winning: 73%

New Zealand vs Australia Betting Tips
Australia to score over 32.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@Parimatch)
Australia had impressive opening partnerships against Pakistan and West Indies before this series. In the T20I series, they scored 29, 32, and 16 runs before their first dismissal. In Tests against Pakistan, Usman Khawaja and David Warner secured 126, 90, and 70 runs for their opening partnership in three games. Against West Indies, Khawaja and Steven Smith scored 25 and 6 runs in two games. In the current series against New Zealand, Smith and Khawaja opened, scoring 61 runs in the first innings. Australia's opening lineup looks strong, with various options. Their batting is promising, and they aim to score high before the first dismissal in the upcoming games.
Match Prediction Best Odds
New Zealand vs Australia Toss Prediction
Hagley Oval offers some of the best batting conditions in New Zealand. While it lacks the bounce of the Basin Reserve, it offers pace for bowlers to exploit. In a 2016 Test match between Australia and New Zealand here, over 1400 runs were scored, with New Zealand posting 300+ totals in both innings and Australia scoring 505 in the first innings. Toss doesn't heavily impact the outcome on this pitch, so neither team gains a significant advantage. However, New Zealand typically prefers to field first, build a big score, and put pressure on the opposition.

New Zealand vs Australia Betting Odds
In the first Test, New Zealand's inability to match Australia's large first-innings total proved costly. Losing five early wickets for just 25 runs set a dismal tone, despite a partial recovery to 179. However, they couldn't close the gap after conceding a substantial lead. Their chase of 369 ended at 196, leaving them trailing 0-1 in the two-game series, requiring a comeback to save it.
Australia's victory in the first Test was set up by their well-rounded bowling attack, but it was the batsmen who laid the groundwork. Cameron Green's remarkable 174 not out felt like a breakthrough moment for a player yet to solidify his Test position. Their first-innings total of 383 kept them ahead, and Nathan Lyon's six-wicket haul in the fourth innings secured victory as New Zealand collapsed for the second time, losing by 172 runs. With a 1-0 lead, Australia heads into the final game with the advantage, while New Zealand faces a must-win situation.
In the first match on a spinning pitch, New Zealand struggled, but they hope for a more favourable surface in the upcoming game. Their defeat highlighted the importance of adapting to varying conditions, and they aim to bounce back to level the series.
