Both teams have already been eliminated from the tournament. 

NZ skipper Kane Williamson said  "It's a new wicket. Try and make use of it first up with the ball in hand. Need to put out better performances, been a bit frustrating but small improvements in the last game." He added that Sodhi is in for Neesham.
