New Zealand vs Australia T20I series: Full schedule, squads, match time, live streaming details

New Zealand will host Australia in a three-match T20I series starting Wednesday as the teams continue their preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

The Kiwis have historically been dominated by the Aussies at home and overall in T20Is. While the BlackCaps have won six matches, Australia have racked up 10 wins. In New Zealand, Australia have won six of their 10 encounters.

Mitchell Marsh will be leading Australia despite the return of Pat Cummins while Mitchell Santner will captain New Zealand. Regular captain Kane Williamson will miss the series expecting the birth of his third child. New Zealand will also miss the services of all-rounder Daryl Mitchell owing to an injury.

The trans-Tasman rivals will be playing for the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy in T20Is for the first time, orignally awarded to the winners of ODI bilaterals between the sides.

Australia enter the series after a 2-1 T20I series win at home against the West Indies. Meanwhile, New Zealand routed Pakistan in their previous T20I series by a 4-1 margin. The T20I series will be followed by two Tests.
