AUS-W vs NZ-W Head to Head: Australia will take on New Zealand in a high-calibre match in the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 on Tuesday, October 8, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
The clash between the trans-Tasmanian rivals always makes for an exciting cricket contest, and this will be truer on Tuesday as both teams will come on the back of dominant wins in their first matches.

New Zealand caused a minor shock with a 58-run victory against India in their opening match, bowling out last year’s finalists at just 102 runs. Australia were also clinical in their low-scoring chase against Sri Lanka, posting a six-wicket win with almost six overs remaining.
Pitted in a tough group containing heavyweights like India and England, both teams will look to ensure their second-straight win at the tournament, going one step closer to qualification for the knockouts.
Australia Women vs New Zealand Women have always been close contests in the past, but six-time Women’s T20 World Cup winners Australia hold a significant head to head advantage over their opponents.
In the 52 WT20I matches played between the two teams, Australia won a staggering 28 games, with New Zealand prevailing 21 times. One match ended in no result, while one match – their first contest played in 2006 – ended in a tie.
The record is much tighter in Women’s T20 World Cups, however, with Australia Women winning four out of seven matches against New Zealand in the tournament. The Kiwis, in comparison, won three times.
The most important of those wins for Australia came in the final match of the 2010 edition, with the Baggy Greens winning by a narrow margin of three runs.
