New Zealand bowl first in quest for comfort win as Australia relaxation Marsh

New Zealand gained the toss and determined to bowl in opposition to Australia

Captain Mitchell Santner gained the toss and elected to bowl as New Zealand seeks a comfort victory in opposition to Australia within the T20I collection finale at a depressing Eden Park.

Both groups have made quite a few modifications with New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Devon Conway dominated out after struggling a left thumb damage throughout sport two and he’s unsure for the Test collection opener in opposition to Australia.

Tim Seifert, who was initially dominated out of the T20I collection with an abductor damage, replaces Conway and has been listed to bat at No.3. Spinner Ish Sodhi comes again into the staff with fast bowler Lockie Ferguson, who starred within the opening two video games, resting.

Batter Rachin Ravindra will once more miss as he recovers from knee soreness that he first skilled after his half-century in sport one.

In their ultimate T20 match till the World Cup, Australia proceed to tinker with their line-up as captain Mitchell Marsh has a breather. Batting allrounder Matthew Short replaces Marsh at No.3, whereas Matthew Wade takes the captaincy reins.

Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have been rested and changed by left-arm quicks Mitchell Starc and Spencer Johnson.

David Warner has been dominated out with an adductor damage, which suggests Steve Smith will get one other likelihood on the high of the order.

Rain has fallen in Auckland through the morning and showers are forecast through the match.

Australia clinched the Chappell-Hadlee collection after a 72-run thrashing in sport two following a last-ball thriller in Wellington.
