DHARAMSALA, India (AP) New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss against Australia and opted to bat first in their World Twenty20 Group 2 game on Friday.
New Zealand made one change to the side that stunned tournament favorite India by 47 runs in their opening game at Nagpur, bringing in left-arm seam bowler Mitchell McClenaghan for offspinner Nathan McCullum.
World Cup champion Australia went in without Aaron Finch but played left-arm spin allrounder Ashton Agar.
This is the first T20 between them in six years.
