Australia head across the Tasman Sea for their first Test series on New Zealand soil for eight years, with the first Test set to start on Thursday 29 February.
Pat Cummins’ side are top of the world Test rankings - though they are level on points with India - and have had a stunning 12 months, winning the World Test Championship before retaining the Ashes in England, winning the World Cup in India and beating Pakistan on home soil.
Shamar Joseph ensured the series with West Indies was shared to set things up nicely in New Zealand, starting at the Basin Reserve, with the Black Caps currently top of the WTC - though they haven’t beaten the Aussies on home soil in a Test since 1993.

New Zealand vs Australia Betting Tip - Second Test
Strangely for a player about to play his 100th Test and with seven Test centuries in his last eight matches, Kane Williamson might feel like he has a point to prove against Australia this week.
For a player with such a fine career record - he has 32 Test centuries don’t forget - he averages just 37.26 against Australia and 37.30 against Australia, India and England, some way short of his overall career average of 55.25.
Together with scores of just 0 and 9 in the first Test, including a disastrous first innings run-out, and Williamson will feel like he hasn’t shown the best version of himself against the top sides in the world.
However he is a brilliant player and he should be able to get back to his recent form and make his mark on this series.
