TOSS - New Zealand have won the flip of the coin and they will BAT first.

On the contrary, New Zealand have nothing to lose but plenty to gain from this game as they continue their preparations for the 2025 Champions Trophy. Missing several ODI regulars, they would ideally like to offer game time to all squad members, but with the series already lost and a potential whitewash looming, the focus will likely remain on fielding their strongest XI. Can the visitors end their tour on a high? Stick around to find out. Toss and
