Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

“We like to bat first as the pitch looks good and might get slow in the second innings. It is a day game, which is good for us, as it will help our spinners.,” Dilpreet Bajwa said.

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner has been ruled out as he is unwell, and Daryl Mitchell is leading the side.

“Mitchell Santner is unwell. We are excited for Lockie, who has flown back to New Zealand for the birth of his first baby. Playing a morning game brings a different challenge. We will try to give our best to adapt to the conditions,” Daryl Mitchell said.
