Australian Men’s Cricket Team Vs New Zealand National Cricket Team Timeline

Australia was on track for their highest total against New Zealand with Travis Head hitting an outstanding 59-ball century, but an unexpected late collapse severely set back their chances.

Marnus Labuschagne had an opportunity to open his account early, but misjudged a simple catch at long-on and was given life on 1 for 18. Soon afterwards, the match became increasingly critical. Now find the Australian Men’s Cricket Team Vs New Zealand National Cricket Team Timeline.

Match Timeline

Australia and New Zealand are two of the best cricket teams in the world, playing an intense and highly-competitive cricket match-up that draws from an abundance of talent. However, for New Zealand to compete with Australia they need many top performers stepping up.

This Test marks only the sixth meeting between Australia and Pakistan during a leap year, yet is an extremely significant one. This will provide players with valuable experience ahead of the 2019 World Cup tournament in England.

After their strong performance against Pakistan in five-match series, New Zealand will look to continue their winning run and build momentum ahead of June’s World Cup. Unfortunately they must contend with key injuries as well as some indifferent performances from bowlers.

How many matches has New Zealand won?

New Zealand holds an impressive record, having won 108 Test matches to become one of the four most successful Test cricket nations ever. Additionally, they boast 47 One Day International (ODI) wins and 16 draws as full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test, ODI, and Twenty20 International (T20I) statuses.

New Zealand’s national team, commonly referred to as the Black Caps, adopted this nickname during an annual contest held by Clear Communications to find an appropriate nickname.

The Black Caps have played in six ICC Cricket World Cup finals but have yet to emerge victorious. They remain one of only two teams to have won two ODI series against Australia consecutively; overall they have won 108 Test matches, 17 against South Africa. New Zealand became the fifth nation to begin test cricketing back in 1930.

Who is the best all rounder in New Zealand?

New Zealand has long been blessed with top all-rounders. Sir Richard Hadlee stands out as an all-rounder able to bat and bowl, as well as win matches for New Zealand. Other noteworthy all-rounders include Chris Cairns, Brendon McCullum, and Daniel Vettori.

Mitchell Santner has become one of the premier spinners in ODI cricket. Able to take down any bowling attack with ease and excelling particularly on pitches offering some spin, his deceptively medium pace makes him an extremely dangerous threat in limited-overs cricket.

Trent Boult is another key member of New Zealand’s side. Boult boasts an outstanding track record in One Day Internationals (ODIs) as the lead fast bowler for his country and should find India an ideal environment for his style of fast bowling. Boult has experience bowling at Indian venues so can provide effective spells from start to finish.

What is the name of the New Zealand Cricket Board?

The New Zealand Cricket Board is the governing body for professional cricket in New Zealand. They oversee both national and provincial cricket teams for management and development; its men’s team is known as Black Caps while women’s cricketers comprise White Ferns.

The Black Caps are known for their competitive spirit, reaching the final of major international tournaments such as World Cups. Their performances in both of them stand as testament to this fact; particularly Kane Williamson and Trent Boult being two stand-out fast bowlers leading an all-star group.

The Black Caps have enjoyed an outstanding home season since 1990, winning three Test series to place second in the Test rankings table and first place in both ODI and T20I tables. They currently boast the best home record since 1990!

History

Australia is one of the oldest teams in international cricket and currently hold the ICC Test championship title. Their players come from domestic leagues such as Sheffield Shield and Big Bash League competitions.

New Zealand came within five runs of pulling off an astonishing World Cup run chase at Dharamshala, but were eventually overthrown by an incredible Australian batting performance led by openers David Warner and Aaron Finch, with Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell providing crucial assistance.

Both sides have played 212 (60 tests, 136 ODIs and 16 T20Is) matches against one another over time and produced some of the world’s finest cricketers. Although Australia have outshone New Zealand in all formats over time, their rivalry remains intensely competitive; here is a look back at some memorable moments from their history together.

Final words

Australia are one over away from winning their first home Test against New Zealand in over four years at Hagley Oval. Set for an epic batting battle at Hagley, but New Zealand’s top order have failed to take advantage after Matt Henry and debutant Ben Sears turned the tide with older ball play.

Travis Head has already reached his century, but continues to display remarkable batting prowess that could easily see him surpass 300 runs.

Jimmy Neesham hits an ambitious high full toss over deep midwicket for a second six of the night, but Labuschagne dives and stops two with an excellent stop. New Zealand need 58 off 30 balls and part-time spinner Glenn Phillips has come into help the side; although his spin bowling may cause issues at times. Phillips has done well thus far.
