Squad

8.38am Mitchell Santner. the Kiwi captain says they would have bowled first as well. Mentions that the dimensions of the ground are such that they will look to cash in and post a good total. Informs about the change with Mitchell Hay making way for Tom Latham.

8.35am Charith Asalanka, the skipper of Sri Lanka says that it looks overcast and each side has lost 12 odd overs, so that is the reason for bowling first. Mentions that he is expecting the ball to move with a tinge of green on the wicket. Further adds that it is tough conditions for them but execution is key.

8.33am New Zealand (Playing XI) - Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (WK) (In place of Mitchell Hay), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner (C), Nathan Smith, Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy, William O'Rourke.

8.32am TOSS - Mitchell Santner flips the coin in the air and Charith Asalanka calls it right. Sri Lanka have elected to BOWL first.

8.26am The revised conditions are confirmed as well now! It will be a 37 overs per side contest. Powerplay 1 will be from 1-8 overs, Powerplay 2 (9-30 overs), and Powerplay 3 (31-37 overs). 2 bowlers can bowl a maximum of 8 overs, while 3 bowlers can bowl a maximum of 7 overs.

8.08am UPDATE - THE OFFICIAL WORD IS IN! After, the inspection, the umpires have decided that the toss will happen at 3 am GMT. The match will begin at 3.30 am GMT, but all this will obviously depend on if there is no further rain. Looking at the skies, it is pretty clear and we should be getting underway as per the above mentioned times.

7.43am UPDATE - 2.13 am GMT - The waiting game continues at Seddon Park! Despite no rain, the umpires are still not satisfied about the outfield, and they will have a further inspection at 2.20 am GMT. Let's hope we get good news.

7.23am UPDATE - 1.53 am GMT - Currently it is not raining at Seddon Park. The live visuals show that the two umpires are out there inspecting the outfield and having a chat with the ground manager. We can also see the Sri Lankan players doing some light warm-up drills. So, it should not be long before we get an official word. Stick with us for more news.

7.00am UPDATE - 1.30 am GMT - Some positive news! The rain has slowed down a bit and few of covers are coming off. We can also see the super-soppers at work trying to dry the outfield as quickly as possible. However, we are almost certain to lose overs as the cut-off time for a full game was right about now.

6.30am UPDATE - 1 am GMT - The drizzle has gotten a bit heavier and the big covers are out now too for the square. A few umbrellas are going up in the crowd as well and it looks like we are in for a longer delay. Stay tuned for more updates.

6.07am UPDATE - 12.37 am GMT - Uh..oh! There is a slight drizzle at Seddon Park. The covers are on but the umpires are out in the middle having some discussions. The toss has been officially delayed.

5.35am With the series on the line and both teams determined to assert their dominance, fans can expect a competitive and high-intensity game. Will New Zealand continue their dominant run, or can Sri Lanka stage a spirited comeback? Stay tuned as we bring you toss, teams and all the action from Hamilton, where the battle between bat and ball promises to be enthralling.

5.34am The toss will play a crucial role, especially given the impact of the dew factor later in the game. Both captains will likely want to bowl first to take advantage of the early assistance for the seamers and set up a manageable chase under lights.

5.33am Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will need their senior players to step up under pressure. Avishka Fernando showed glimpses of brilliance with his half-century in the previous game, but he lacked support from the middle and lower order. The visitors will also look to their bowlers, including Lahiru Kumara and Asitha Fernando, to create early breakthroughs and challenge the formidable Kiwi batting lineup.
