After Australia's 3-2 series loss to New Zealand, India have moved to the second spot on the ICC T20I rankings behind England who are currently at the top. Among batsmen, KL Rahul has slipped a position down to secure the third spot on the table while Aaron Finch is at the second position.

On the back of two consecutive losses, Andrew McDonald has hinted that Australia could make several changes to strengthen their middle-order setup, batting and bowling, where the hosts have edged past them. He also added that everyone in the squad would get their opportunity in this series.

After a close-win over Australia, Kane Williamson expressed that it was a pretty strong performance from the BlackCaps but also stated that both Sams and Stoinis were incredible. While insisting that it is tough to defend a target at the venue, Williamson credited Guptill for his knock.

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson had high praise for Devon Conway who played a match-winning knock of 99 and termed his knock 'incredible'. Conway was also quite happy with his effort and expressed that all he focused was to settle in and then play his shots that came out well.
