Toss : New Zealand won the toss and choose to bowl

Latham: Opting to bowl first. Pitch seems promising, and we hope it improves for batting later. Team preparation has been excellent, despite players gathering from various corners of the world just a week ago. Regrettably, Kane is not fully fit yet, and Ferguson has a minor injury concern. Sodhi, Kane, and Southee won’t be playing today.

Jos Buttler. He discusses his strategy for an upcoming game, the team’s preparation after a successful series against New Zealand, and reflects on a significant achievement from four years ago. Unfortunately, Ben will be absent due to a hip niggle, and several other players will also miss the game(Atkinson, Topley, Willey and Stokes.)
