The SCG will be the venue that will host the first Super 12 game in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 between Australia and New Zealand on October 22. The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 final will be played on November 13. The AUS vs NZ rivalry will once again resume in the ICC mega event.
Australia are the host of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. Hence, all the matches will take place at different stadiums spread across Australia. The Aussies are also the defending champions of the tournament who defeated New Zealand in the last year’s T20 World Cup final.
Australia and New Zealand played an ODI series just before the T20 World Cup. The Aussie won the series 3-0. Heading into the T20 World Cup, the side is struggling with form fitness issues of a few key players. Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis and David Warner are the players in question. As per reports, Warner is fit and expected to play the first game against the Kiwis.
“I think he would definitely be right for New Zealand. I’m not sure about the warm-up game against India. I think he was okay the day after he hit his head and then the following day, his neck got really sore and stiff. We’ll wait and see what it’s like. If he’s fit he’ll play. If he’s still a little bit sore, we’d err on the side of caution. I think when you’ve got experienced players who know what they need to do to be ready for a tournament, you’re not too concerned whether they play that game or not” said Finch.
New Zealand, on the other hand, lost their warm-up game against the Proteas. Their second warm-up game against India was washed out due to rain. They need their big-match players to step up if they are to win against the defending champions.
