Australia vs New Zealand, 1st ODI Live Score Updates: Australia Win Toss, Opt To Bowl

Australia vs New Zealand, 1st ODI, Live Score Updates:  Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to bowl first against New Zealand in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns. Australia had last won the series against Zimbabwe 2-1, but it is important to remember that the side suffered a seven-wicket loss in the third and final ODI. On the other hand, New Zealand are coming off a successful tour of the West Indies where they won both ODI and T20I series. It would be interesting to see what team combination both teams go in with.

New Zealand (Playing XI): Martin Guptill, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson(c), Tom Latham(w), Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

Australia (Playing XI): Aaron Finch(c), David Warner, Steven Smith, Alex Carey(w), Marnus Labuschagne, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

The game is set to begin. We can see the Australian team in a huddle.

So, from the last ODI, Australia have made one change. Marnus Labuschagne has replaced Ashton Agar to strengthen the batting and his part-time leg-spin can be useful as well. For New Zealand, Tim Southee sits out and both Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson have got a chance. It's unfortunate that the likes of Glenn Phillips and Finn Allen who have shown outstanding form have not got a place in the XI. Clearly, the tourists have gone for experience in the first game.

New Zealand (Playing XI) - Martin Guptill, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson (C), Tom Latham (WK), Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult.
