T20 WC: Duffy Replaces McConchie As New Zealand Elect To Bowl First Against Unchanged India
T20 World Cup: New Zealand have brought in pacer Jacob Duffy in place of off-spin bowling all-rounder Cole McConchie as captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and elected to bowl first against unchanged India in the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
India are chasing a record third Men’s T20 World Cup crown, while New Zealand are eyeing their maiden title. Victory for India would also make them the first team to win back-to-back editions and the first to lift the trophy on home soil. Interestingly, New Zealand have won all of their matches in this World Cup while chasing.
After winning the toss, Santner said, “The pitch looks pretty good. We will see if it does anything and try to restrict them to a chasable score. Boys are good. This is why we are playing. It did. Great occasion, the semifinal, and the guys will take confidence from that. This is the biggest stage, and everyone is ready.”
