New Zealand will look to build on their dream start to the T20 World Cup by beating their great trans-Tasman rivals in Dharamsala on 18 March.

The Black Caps stunned hosts and favourites India in the opening match of the Super 10 stage with a sublime display of spin bowling in Nagpur. Kane Williamson's side are backed at 7/5 by Betfair to win their second match of the tournament and take a giant stride towards the semi-finals.

Australia come into this tournament on the back of a 2-1 T20 series win over South Africa away from home. The five time ODI world champions boast plenty of destructive batting talent and, at 5/7, are favoured to get their World T20 campaign off to a winning start.

Despite failing to fire against India, Williamson is priced at 11/4 to be top run scorer for the Kiwis. His opening partner Martin Guptill is also backed at 11/4, while Corey Anderson, who top scored against India with a patient 34, is placed at 7/1 to repeat the feat.

Aaron Finch, the world's top-ranked T20 batsman, is a good bet to top the runs chart for Australia at 7/2, while the destructive Glenn Maxwell is placed at 7/1.
