NAGPUR – According to latest news from the ground Australia have won the toss and invited New Zealand to bat first.
| Team news: Australia will go in with the same XI. New Zealand may bring in Jamie How in place of Jacob Oram, which is not confirmed yet. | |
| Pitch report: The wicket is dry, the groundsmen have done a tremendous job considering the heavy overnight rain. There are just a few tinges of green, the grass is rolled in nicely, and the seamers will get a little more help. The spinners won't have a big role to play today. Batsmen will still find it easy to bat on. | |
| Weather update: There was a bit of rain yesterday, the sun is not fully out yet. The good news is, the covers are off. The conditions are still overcast. | |
| Another big game this morning, the geographical neighbours, Australia and New Zealand, lock horns in what promises to be an enthralling encounter. Both teams are coming out of big wins, New Zealand crushed Kenya with a sensational bowling display while an all round effort helped Australia destroy Zimbabwe. Will it be the Black Caps or the Aussies? Who will have the last smile? This is Ajith bringing you all the action along with Karthik, Pradeep and Srivathsa. Don't go away, we'll be back with more updates. |
