NZ vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, Best Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1st T20I, New Zealand vs Australia T20I series 2025

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for 1st T20I of New Zealand vs Australia T20I series 2025 between NZ vs AUS to be played in Mount Maunganui.

It’s time for quality cricket as New Zealand are all set to host Australia in a three-match T20I series. The high-profile T20I series between New Zealand and Australia is all set to begin with the first match on Wednesday, 1st October at Bay Oval, Mount Muanganui.

In the absence of Mitch Santner, star all-rounder Michael Bracewell will lead the Black Caps. They have brought in a few notable stars, and they are certainly on their way to finding a good combination.

Australia have been playing T20Is recently and done well. They will miss the services of Glenn Maxwell, who has been ruled out due to a freak forearm injury, and Josh Philippe has been drafted in the squad as his replacement. Marcus Stoinis is back, and it will give them the balance they are looking for.
