Australia vs New Zealand Preview

Australia will be looking to put to bed the scars from the rather one-sided ODI series with England, where despite a resounding win in the Ashes, the hosts have been brought down to earth with a bump. New Zealand, on the other hand, were soundly beaten by Pakistan and will be itching to set the record straight, despite having not beaten Australia on home soil.
