3.5 overs (2 Runs) Daryl Mitchell lofts this one over the bowler and they collect a couple before the fielder can cut the ball off this time.

3.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! There was power on this shot, no enough timing, but still enough for the ball to run away to the ropes. Around middle and off, Brad Wheal hits the deck hard this time, Daryl Mitchell pumps this one past the mid on fielder for a boundary.

3.4 overs (1 Run) WIDE. Short and down the leg side, DM leaves it after watching it closely. Wided.

0.4 over (1 Run) Better length this time. Back of a length, around off and middle, following Martin as he moves to the leg side. He inside-edges this to the leg side for a quick single.

0.3 over (4 Runs) FOUR! New Zealand and Martin Guptill open their account. Brad changes his length and gets punished. A touch too full, around off, shaping away, Martin Guptill makes room and lofts this one over covers for a boundary.

0.2 over (0 Run) Brad sticks with the same line and length and the ball again bounces slightly more than what Martin expected. It moves away slightly too as the Kiwi makes his second leave on the trot.

0.1 over (0 Run) Brad Wheal starts off with a back-of-a-length delivery, around off, it lands and takes off slightly. Martin Guptill keeps his wits about himself and makes an early leave.

The players walk out and line up for their respective national anthems. It is Scotland's first followed by New Zealand's. Done with all the pre-match formalities. It is time for the action as the players of Scotland stride out to the middle. Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell are the openers for New Zealand. The players take the knee to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Brad Wheal to start with the ball. Here we go...

Kane Williamson, the skipper of New Zealand, says that they would have bowled first as well as it looks like a good surface. Says that they are ready for the job. Informs that they are playing the same team. Adds that they have to maintain the standard same as they showed against India and would focus on their game. Tells that the players can play a variety of roles and that is why they are playing with the same team.

Kyle Coetzer, the skipper of Scotland, says they will bowl first. Informs that they have two changes as Kyle Coetzer and Alasdair Evans come in place of Craig Wallace and Josh Davey. Adds that setting totals has been challenging in this tournament so they would look to chase. Tells that they were expecting tough competition coming into the Super 12 stage and it is a brilliant opportunity for them to push their boundaries as far as they can against quality sides.

New Zealand (Unchanged Playing XI) - Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson (C), Devon Conway (WK), Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult.

Scotland (Playing XI) - George Munsey, Kyle Coetzer (C) (In place of Craig Wallace), Matthew Cross (WK), Richie Berrington, Calum MacLeod, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Alasdair Evans (In place of Josh Davey), Safyaan Sharif, Brad Wheal.

TOSS - We are all in readiness for the flip of the coin as both the skippers are out in the middle. The flip of the coin lands in the favor of Kyle Coetzer. SCOTLAND ELECT TO BOWL FIRST!

Scotland, on the other hand, are a good side but they haven't quite been able to bring their A game coming into the Super 12 stage. Their bowlers have done a decent job but it is their batters who need to step up if they are to stand a chance of winning against a strong New Zealand side. Right then, lots of match-ups to look forward to in this game and it promises to be an intriguing contest between Scotland's batters and New Zealand's bowlers. Stay tuned for toss and further updates.

New Zealand will be coming into this fixture high on confidence after having won their previous game against India and they are certainly looking favourites to grab the semi-final spot. The Kiwis have a world-class bowling attack and they proved their worth in their last game against India. Their top order has also spent some quality time in the middle and they have all to play for as the race for semi-final is well and truly on.

Hello and a very warm welcome to game number 32 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup where New Zealand will go up against Scotland. The race for semi-final is getting intense and we are in for another exciting encounter from group 2 of this mega event.
