Next ball, he blasts a flat six.15:04 hrs IST: Guptill gets going with a couple of boundaries off Coulter-Nile. However, in the next over bowled by Watson, he gets an inside edge that goes past off stump. 15:00 hrs IST: Nathan Coulter-Nile will open the bowling with one slip in place. Martin Guptill on strike. Can he repeat his ODI heroics which he did earlier in the year? 14:55 hrs IST: Usman Khawaja will open the batting for Australia, which means David Warner might bat at number four. 14:46 hrs IST: Talking about the February match, it witnessed a spectacular innings by Brendon McCullum who blasted 116 off 56 balls.

New Zealand made 214/6 but Australia tied the match thanks to Cameron White's 64 and Michael Clarke's 67. New Zealand won the match in the Super Over. 14:43 hrs IST: This is the first time Australia and New Zealand are clashing in the World Twenty20.

There could be some turn on offer. Team that wins the toss might opt to bat second. 14:26 hrs IST: A warm welcome to the match between Australia and New Zealand from Dharamsala. First things: The weather. It is bright and sunny at the venue and rain is not expected to play a part in this game.The ICC World T20 is the one major international cricketing prize to have eluded Australia but with the batting firepower in their ranks, they cannot be ruled out as contenders to grasp it at the sixth attempt. With David Warner, Shane Watson, Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja and skipper Steve Smith all able to take the game away from their opponents on any given day, the 50-over world champions have every reason for confidence. Australia hold a superior record over New Zealand in Twenty20 matches. © NDTV The big question mark over their challenge is the fact that their batsmen have rarely thrived on the spin-friendly pitches of South Asia, where teams will use three, and sometimes four, slow bowlers against them. New Zealand, after their stunning win against India on a spin-friendly wicket in Nagpur, will surely be inclined to summon their spinners but Dharamsala's conditions may not suit the big turners of the ball. With northern India going through a rainy spell, the weather in Dharamsala could be a niggle that could throw the match into the realms of mathematics.
