Australia vs New Zealand Head-to-Head Records in T20Is 

The two teams have competed against each other about 19 times. Out of the two, Aussies are stronger, and stats also say the same. 

In 13 of those competitions, they have won. Just a few months ago, they played a 20-over series of 3 matches, and the Kangaroos just whitewashed the Kiwis, and that too in their home. In 2021, the two teams played the finale of the tournament, and AUS won by eight wickets.
