Talking about both teams' recent performance, as mentioned above, the Men in Yellow won the ODI series against Zimbabwe, but they had to suffer a humiliating defeat against the same opponents in the third fixture.
New Zealand, on the other hand, won the ODI series against West Indies recently and the visiting team will be looking to emulate their performance against Aaron Finch's team. Both teams have already announced their squads for the fixture and it is going to be an epic contest between the two giants of the game.
Pitch and conditions
A pace-friendly wicket is expected at the Cazaly's Stadium, Cairns with pacers looking to exploit the conditions with the new ball. Skipper winning the toss might want to have a bowl first and chase the total later on.
