Shane Warne warns Aussies to be wary of 'Kiwi' threat ahead of Auckland clash

Australian spin legend Shane Warne has warned Michael Clarke's men to be wary of 'favourites' New Zealand side ahead of their trans-Tasman World Cup clash on February 28 in Auckland.

Calling McCullum-led side as one of the favorites, Warne said that New Zealand were going to give them a hard time, adding that they were playing some great cricket and, in their own conditions, they were going to be tough to beat, News.co.au reported.

While New Zealand have won their World Cup opener against Sri Lanka by 98 runs in Christchurch, the Adelaide match between England and Australia is currently underway.
