The finals would be interesting to watch, I am sure NZ will try to win this tournament but you cannot underestimate the Australian side. They can turn the match in their favour. I was in the assumption that the way Pakistan was playing they would have entered the finals. 176 was a competitive score put on by the Pakistani batsmen but bowlers failed to capitalize it.
One thing that I like about the Australian team is that they are very good in winning trophies. Check the number of times they have won the ODI world cup. On the other hand, New Zealand team won the WTC just a few months back and their morale would be high as well. Although others would disagree, I would say that Australia is having the advantage here. Their team looks more balanced, while New Zealand is still struggling due to the absence of Lockie Ferguson and Kyle Jamieson. Adam Milne looks like the chink in the armor.
I would also say that Australia has The upper hand in this match. Australia has more power hitters and their bowling is also good. The bowlers seem to hit the Deck hard and also maintain their line and length very well. And the batsman of Australia can play really innovative shots under pressure which can disturb the opponent bowlers and captain mentally because then the opposing captain has to set the field for something unusual. Overall I think Australia I will win.
