Australia vs New Zealand Head to Head in T20I Cricket
Australia and New Zealand have played 22 T20 International matches against each other, the first in 2005 and the latest on 4 October 2025. Australia have won 15 and New Zealand 6, with 1 ending without a result. Australia lead by 9. Australia's highest total against New Zealand is 245 and New Zealand's is 243. Their lowest completed totals are 111 and 102. The table above carries the full list. Updated 9 September, 2026.
This fixture is where the format began. The first men's T20 international ever played was Australia against New Zealand at Eden Park on 17 February 2005, and both sides treated it as a bit of fun - New Zealand turned out in beige modelled on their 1980s kit, several players wore false moustaches, and Australia won by 44 runs after making 214 for 5. Ricky Ponting made 98 not out and said afterwards he was not sure the format was a serious international game.
Australia have controlled it since, winning more than twice as many as New Zealand. Their most significant night came in the 2021 T20 World Cup final at Dubai on 14 November: New Zealand 172 for 4, Australia there with eight wickets and seven balls to spare, Mitchell Marsh 77 not out, and a first title in the format.
The heaviest scoring belongs to Eden Park in February 2018 - Australia 245 for 5, New Zealand 243 for 6 - and the short square boundaries there have made it comfortably the most productive ground in the rivalry. The most recent series, at Mount Maunganui in October 2025, went to Australia, who won both completed matches after the middle game was abandoned.
