New Zealand vs Australia: In a massive final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, Trans-Tasmanian rivals New Zealand will be locking horns with Australia at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 14 November (Sunday). The Kane Williamson-led New Zealand team suffered a huge blow ahead of the grand finale encounter with the in-form Devon Conway getting ruled out of the big match.
Who will Replace Devon Conway in NZ Playing 11?
Incidentally, Devon Conway injured his right hand after he hit his bat hard with his hand following his dismissal in the semi-final encounter between England and New Zealand. During the pre-match press conference, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson confirmed the big development that Tim Seifert will replace Devon Conway as the wicket-keeper batter in the playing 11 for the final of the T20 World Cup against Australia.
It will also be interesting to see whether New Zealand makes any changes in their batting line-up with the addition of Tim Seifert in the final against the Aussies. Even after James Neesham’s brilliant heroics in the semi-final against England, the Kiwi middle-order has struggled a lot in the ongoing edition of the tournament.
