NZ vs AUS 1st T20I Dream11: Preview
New Zealand has had a wonderful home season ever since the 2023 ODI World Cup. After winning two out of three series against Bangladesh, they won the five-match T20I series against Pakistan 4-1. They then won both of their Tests against a strong South African side.
While Australia too has had a successful home season after winning the ODI World Cup last year, their matches have been quite noteworthy. The Kangaroos first defeated Pakistan 3-0 in a Test series. They then tied a two-match Test series vs the West Indies, which showed the Caribbean side win their first Test down under since 1997.

NZ vs AUS 1st T20I Dream11: Pitch Report
The pitches of the Wellington Regional Stadium are fairly flat and bouncy, which means that the ball will come nicely onto the bat. Bowlers will find it difficult to keep scores under check.
The dimensions of the ground are small too, in the late-50s and early-60s. So expect a lot of boundaries and sixes in this match.
