An in-form Australia take-on a New Zealand side who are on the brink of qualification for the semi-finals in Dharamsala.

After losing their first two matches, Australia have won three on the bounce to revive their competition, whilst New Zealand have four wins from five matches with it possible that just one more win will be enough for them to qualify for the semi-finals.

For the sake of the competition, a New Zealand win would be the best result for the neutral. A clump of teams now look likely to finish with five wins from their nine matches, and a New Zealand win would keep Australia in that pack whilst all but securing qualification for themselves.

It looks set to be a high quality encounter, with both teams playing exciting cricket and batters across both teams being in fine form. David Warner’s century against the Netherlands was his second of the competition and took him level with Sachin Tendulkar (6) and just behind Rohit Sharma (7) for the record number of World Cup centuries.

Australian opener Travis Head’s return still hasn’t been 100% confirmed as he continues to rehab his fractured hand, whilst New Zealand captain Kane Williamson remains unavailable.

Australia v New Zealand key player to watch

Glenn Maxwell (Australia)

The Big Show’s time in the spotlight seemed to be fading, only for him to turn it around and blast a 40-ball century against the Netherlands. It was the fastest in World Cup history and a reminder of a player who is arguably the most entertaining in the world on his day. Add in his very effective off-spin and Maxwell is a match-winner who will be at the forefront of New Zealand’s mind.
