On Tuesday afternoon, the first of a three-game one-day international series between Australia and New Zealand will get underway at the Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.
In a recent one-day international (ODI) series that ended on Saturday, Australia defeated Zimbabwe by a score of 2-1. A month ago, New Zealand’s victory against West Indies was decided by the same score.
Continue reading for a preview of this day-night encounter that will take place as part of the Cricket World Cup Super League. Cairns will play host to the maiden One-Day International at 14:20 local time.
On Saturday, Australia was taken by surprise by Zimbabwe, who handed them their first loss on Australian soil against an opponent playing in this format. On the other hand, they were in great shape throughout the remainder of the series and will likely perform well in the first game of this series.
The recent trip that New Zealand has been on through Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, and the West Indies has been quite successful for them. Despite the fact that they won a series in all of those nations, they still have a challenging series ahead of them against Australia.

Latest News from the Australian National Team
Since the host team played the second and third one-day internationals against Zimbabwe with the same XI, we believe that Ashton Agar will hold his spot in the side for this game despite the fact that the ground is likely to change. The Australian team does not have any injury concerns at this time.
Key Players of the Australia Team
David Warner: David Warner, who bats left-handed and opens the batting, is enjoying a strong run of success across all forms. He averages 45.10 after 134 ODI innings.

Latest News from the New Zealand Team
Kane Williamson, New Zealand’s captain and the man who missed the team’s last two one-day internationals due to injury, will be eligible to lead the team in this match. We anticipate that Michael Bracewell, a spinning all-rounder, will maintain his position on the team in Cairns because of the spinning surface, while Jimmy Neesham will be dropped.
Key Players of the Zealand Team
Kane Williamson: Due to an injury, Kane Williamson, the captain of New Zealand’s one-day international team, was only able to participate in the first game of the series against the West Indies. However, he is now completely healthy and has a 47.38 batting average in ODIs.
Martin Guptill: Martin Guptill, an experienced right-handed batsman, scored 57 runs in the final one-day international that was played in the Caribbean a month ago. In this format, it was his 58th time scoring 50 or more points.Trent Boult: Trent Boult, who bowls left-arm fast, does not currently have a central contract with New Zealand but was selected for this series anyhow. In one-day internationals, he is both dangerous and economical with the ball at any point of an innings.
