New Zealand vs Australia 3rd T20I: New Zealand vs Australia preview 

Carrying over from the dismal T20I and Test series losses against India, the Australian men have been struggling to find their form in New Zealand. The 5-match T20I series currently stands at 2-0 in favour of the hosts, making this match perhaps the most critical one fo the series. The Kiwis have managed to win every single series that they have been a part of since their 0-5 loss to India in the T20I series back in January 2020. 

New Zealand will be coming into this game having defeated West Indies 2-0 in T20Is back in November 2020 and Pakistan 2-1 in December 2020. They will also be confident after their 53-run win over the Aussies in the 1st T20I and their close 4-run win in the 2nd T20I. Between the Blackcaps looking to finish off this series and the Aussies hoping to get back into form and salvage it, this match should be a cracker. Both teams will also be hoping to find their teams for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021 as well.
