Australia is set to host their Trans-tasman rivals New Zealand in a 3-match One Day International series between March 13-20, 2020. Australia is coming off a whitewash from the Proteas, while the Kiwis have blanked India last month.
Head-to-Head Series in Australia
The Kiwis have played 5 ODI bilateral series in Australia. But they have managed to secure the title honours just once, and that was way back in 1983 (Only ODI 1-0). In the remaining four, the Kangaroos have comfortably swept the Kiwis on two occasions (2007 2-0, 2016 3-0), and have shared the honours with their rivals in 2004 (1-1) and 2009 (2-2).
The Australians were defeated in their most recent ODI series against South Africa as they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat. But they will take some cues from their impressive home record against New Zealand. On the flip side, the Black Caps will be brimming with confidence after sweeping India (3-0) and the Kane Williamson army will look to continue their momentum against Kangaroos to end their 27-year drought in Australia.
