We have made a few changes in our Expert XI. Have a look at our new and improved team

This is a new pitch. Humidity is not bad it is around 40, there’s is a slight breeze coming in. 65m to my right and 60m to my left and straight boundary is 74m. I like the look of it first up, the only thing is I’m worried about is an area near the back of the length area is a bit soft. But, overall it’s a good pitch, reckon Ian Smith and Carlos Brathwaite, in their pitch report

New Zealand have won the toss and have opted to field

Uganda have already made history to have qualified for their maiden T20 World Cup. The African side put up a spirited show with the ball against Afghanistan but poor shows with the bat led to their downfall against both the Afghans and West Indies. However, their win against Papua New Guinea has already given them memories of a lifetime. They will like to end their campaign with an impressive show against New Zealand. Can Uganda rise to the occasion today? Or will the Black Caps run away with the show? Stick around for the toss and team lineups...

19:30 Local Time, 23:30 GMT, 05:00 IST: New Zealand have already been eliminated from the mega event before their campaign could take off. A couple of bad games at the start of the campaign have shut the doors for the Kiwis. They were beaten comprehensively in their first game against Afghanistan. They were in the driver’s seat when their bowlers reduced West Indies to 30/5 in their last game. But, an outstanding knock from Rutherford swung the pendulum and the Kiwis eventually fell short by 13 runs. Their batters have struggled for rhythm, especially, their top-order has disappointed. The Kiwi pacers have been quite good but it usually requires an all-round performance to win a game. It is rare that New Zealand don't put their best foot forward in a T20 or ODI World Cup. But, this edition marks a dark chapter in their rich cricketing history. They still have pride to play for and the fact that they are facing Uganda today gives them an opportunity to register a dominant performance.
