T20 World Cup 2022 live updates: Australia and New Zealand lock horns in the first match of the Super 12 stage of T20 World Cup 2022. The hosts will be looking to defend their crown while Kane Williamson's men will try to pick up their first-ever T20 World Cup title.
Aaron Finch's Australia have had some mixed results in the lead-up to the mega event having lost their bilateral series against India and England, but they did beat West Indies.
Elsewhere, the Black Caps come into the World Cup on the back of a seven-match tri-series, wherein they lost narrowly to Pakistan in the series finale. While Australia lost their only warmup match of the tournament versus India, New Zealand lost to South Africa in their first warmup match, while the second match against India was washed out.
It's going to be a crucial fixture for Australia and the Kiwis and both sides will be looking to kickstart their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign with a victory.

Southee to Cummins, out Caught by Conway!! That's the end of the match and it's only apt that Conway has the final say in the game
AUS 111/10 (17.1)
- 22 Oct 2022, 03:47 PM
Boult to Zampa, out Bowled!! This is getting over in a flash - looked like the cutter, was the knuckle ball - nipped back in late, Zampa had backed away on the inside out drive, gets beaten by the late movement and has his leg-stump clattered.

FOUR! Good length delivery from Ferguson outside off and Cummins backs away and clears the infield on the off to get four. Hundred runs up for AUS in 15.1 overs. SIX! Cummins pulls this short of length delivery over deep midwicket. Starc swings and misses outside off. Crunched through the off-side by Starc for just a single at deep cover.

Cummins in at number eight. Short of a length again outside off and Cummins leaves. FOUR! Cummins swipes across the line and gets four runs at the square-leg boundary.
