🏏ICC Men's T20I WC 2022 - Super 12 - Group 1 - AUS vs NZ🏏 - Page 3

Australia won the toss and elected to bowl.

Finch: Going to bowl. There's weather around but we also feel the wicket gets better and better as the game goes on. Every time you represent Australia you feel pressure. We've always had amazing support.

Wiliiamson: Would've bowled as well for the same reason. Guys have been working hard and training. No changing the past but for us it's about playing for what's important for our game. Really commit to our plans.

Australia (Playing XI): Aaron Finch(c), David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

New Zealand (Playing XI): Devon Conway(w), Finn Allen, Kane Williamson(c), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

Not long before play gets underway. The umpires walk out with the players alongside young boys and girls. The two teams have lined up for the national anthems. One of the great traditions of cricket. New Zealand's first followed by Australia's. The weather is alright for now. Let's hope it stays that way.
