The teams contested the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy,[5][6] with the T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation for the T20 World Cup in June that year which will be held in the USA and West Indies.[7][8] It was the first time the T20I series was a part of Chappell–Hadlee Trophy.[9][10][11] Australia won the first two T20Is,[12] and retained the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy.[13]
