Australia vs New Zealand, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Toss update
Australia won the toss and opt to bat. Click here for playing 11.
The Australian cricket team have already qualified for the semis, while New Zealand are a win short of sealing their top-four berth in the World Cup 2019. The Aaron Finch-led team have been clinical in both departments, as has New Zealand, who have been led by their new ball bowlers and the batting duo of Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor. We should, then, be in for an exciting game.
Australia won the toss and chose to bat.
New Zealand (Playing XI): Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson(c), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham(w), James Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
Australia (Playing XI): Aaron Finch(c), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Jason Behrendorff
Kane Williamson: We would've batted, it's important that we take some early wickets. Sodhicomes in for Henry, also Henry Nicholls comes in at the top of the order for Colin Munro. Today is a new day, a fresh start and it's about putting up strong performances. They (Australia) bring in great crowd, it should be fun.
Aaron Finch: We are going to bat first. It's a used wicket and hopefully, it will get slower on later. A totally different wicket from what we played the other day. It's a bit dry and might spin. No changes, unfortunate for the guys who are sitting out but we've been really flexible with the team.
