Pitch and Conditions

Seddon Park is traditionally known for being a high-scoring ground with short boundaries. However, the surface often provides some lateral movement for seamers early in the innings. With a 65% wicket-taking rate for pace bowlers at this venue, New Zealand will be banking on the return of Lockie Ferguson to bolster their attack.

The weather in Hamilton is expected to be clear, providing ideal conditions for a full 20-over contest.

New Zealand will be without leg-spinner Ish Sodhi, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the series due to a fractured thumb. Mitchell Santner continues to lead a side that features several fresh faces as both teams transition following the recently concluded T20 World Cup.
