Sydney Cricket Ground is hosting the Super-12 ICC T20 World Cup match between Australia and New Zealand. This is the first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 for the finalists of the last T20 World Cup.
Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first under an overcast Sydney sky. New Zealand have not won a single in any format of the game since 2011 in Australia, and they will need a big performance in the match to overturn that record. Finn Allen started the match on a brilliant note for the Kiwis.
The Sydney Cricket Ground will be hosting a total of 6 Super-12 matches of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, where the 1st semi-final of the tournament will also be played here on 9th November, 2022.

Highest successful run chase in Sydney T20Is
