Australia A vs New Zealand A Unofficial ODI series: Head-to-Head, Schedule, Squads, Match Timings, Live streaming details, and more
Following the conclusion of the two-match test series last week, Australia A and New Zealand A will face each other in a three-match unofficial ODI series starting Sunday, September 10. The series will conclude on September 15, with all three matches being played across two venues in Brisbane and Mackay.
New Zealand A stunned the hosts in the recently concluded unofficial Test series earlier by winning it 2-0. The Kiwis did look down and out in the first innings of the first unofficial Test after being bowled out for 147.
However, the visitors staged a remarkable comeback in the second innings by posting a daunting total of 468. New Zealand A won that game comfortably by a margin of 225 runs.
In the second Test, it was New Zealand A’s bowling performance that stood out the most. After being set a target of 302 to chase in the final innings, Australia A started well with Caleb Jewell smashing a magnificent 131 off 169 balls.
The hosts were trodding along nicely at 126-3 when they experienced an unprecedented batting collapse. Scott Kuggeleijn and William O’Rourke did the bulk of the damage to curtail Australia A for just 233.
In the recent past, Australia A have achieved some impressive victories in their last four unofficial ODIs. They registered three wins against Sri Lanka A and Gloucestershire and have only been defeated once.
On the other hand, New Zealand A had to endure a tough time in their last five unofficial ODI matches, which were played against India. The Kiwis lost thrice and won the other two.
