Pre-Match Analysis: Australia vs. New Zealand ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Final
After crushing team India in semifinals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, Australia will take on New Zealand at the MCG on Sunday, March 29, in the tournament’s final. Both co-hosts will clash to claim the title, and, no doubt, the battle is going to be epic.
Australia is playing their seventh Word Cup final and has won four of them. Three consecutive victories in as many finals had astonished the world until they were defeated by India in 2011 World Cup quarterfinal.
In the current tournament, Australia hasn’t lost to any team except New Zealand. The last five year records shows that Australia has won 10 out of total 12 matches played at the MCG, and in last six encounters, they have won all of them.
The pitch at MCG is likely to favor Aussies, while New Zealand bowlers will miss the swing that they used to defeat the Aussies in the Pool game. The Australian bowling attack is quite potent with Mitchell Starc and Michell Johnson. Still, so far, the tournament has been more about batting, and both sides are quite capable of scoring big scores.
The New Zealand openers Brendon McCullum and Marin Guptill are in an aggressive form so far. Moreover, the capability of New Zealand to handle pressure is not in question considering their record against Australia.
Steve Smith, David Warner and Glen Maxwell, all in good form, will be a reason of worry for the Kiwis. Keeping in mind these factors and records, the match on Sunday is going to be a spectacular and breathtaking battle.
