PITCH REPORT - Ian Smith is near the deck. He starts by informing that a fresh surface will be used for this game and that a slight breeze is blowing across the ground. Adds that 65 metres and 60 metres are the dimensions of the square boundaries with the straight boundary being 74 metres long. Carlos Brathwaite joins him and says that he likes the look of the surface first up. Tells that this strip is a lot barer and there is a spot around a good length that could trouble the batters. Reckons that the wicket should play better than we have seen at this venue so far.
Brian Masaba, the captain of Uganda says they are not happy with their batting in the last couple of games and have a chance to do well today. Informs that Ronak Patel and Fred Achelam are back into the team. Feels that there is some moisture on the surface and it could help the bowlers with the rain around.
The captain of New Zealand, Kane Williamson says that they will bowl first. Shares that they want to make first use of this fresh surface, which looks quite tacky. States that they try to pick the best playing XI for every game and informs that they are going with the same team as the last game. Tells that it is frustrating not to go through and now it is about focusing on what is in front of them. With this being a new surface, it will be important to assess the conditions quickly.
Uganda (Playing XI) - Ronak Patel (In for Roger Mukasa), Simon Ssesazi, Robinson Obuya, Riazat Ali Shah, Alpesh Ramjani, Dinesh Nakrani, Kenneth Waiswa, Brian Masaba (C), Fred Achelam (WK) (In for Frank Nsubuga), Juma Miyagi, Cosmas Kyewuta.
