Australia Wins the Toss and Bowls in the 3rd Twenty20 Match Against New Zealand

Australia captain Mitch Marsh chose to bowl first in a rain-affected final T20I after retaining the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy with a 1-0 series lead.

  • On Saturday at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, the third T20I between New Zealand cricket team and Australia cricket team begins after a 15-minute rain delay with Australia captain Mitch Marsh winning the toss and choosing to bowl.
  • After Friday's disruptions, the second game had been cut to a nine-over contest after a more-than-two-hour delay, with further rain after Australia were 16 for one in 2.1 overs causing abandonment.
  • New Zealand and Australia named full XIs for the decider at Bay Oval, with Tim Seifert included, and the third T20I will air on Sony Sports Network and stream on SonyLIV, FanCode, Amazon Prime Video.
  • Australia have already retained the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy due to Friday's washout, so a Black Caps win on Saturday would not reclaim the cup.
  • With rain recurring in Mount Maunganui, fans hope for clear skies as wet weather continues to affect the area, and Australia captain Mitch Marsh said `Obviously conditions, the pitch has been under the covers and we know there's weather around so that's why we've bowled`.
