"Nice to be back. Nice to be contributing. Nice to get the win, got very close there, was a hell of a game. I had only had a couple of hits (since returning from injury). Obviously had a six-7 weeks off. I think so (asked if it is just about getting the confidence back on return). Few blokes found it tough out there, keep pushing with the bat. We (him and Warner) play together really well. We complement each other really well, make sure we stay connected with each other and stay with each other," Head said.

"It was awesome. They just kept coming at us and it was a fantastic game of cricket. Travis has been away for 5 weeks, first hit back in the game and the kind of intent they (openers) showed, they led from the front. It was a good wicket and at times we probably gave too much width and some really good partnerships there. Fielding made a big difference. We got about 5-6 day break now, so we will enjoy this moment and get stuck in at the back end (of the tournament)," Cummins said.

"Fantastic game of cricket, ebbed and flowed throughout the 100 overs. To come so close obviously hurts, but a fantastic game. They put us on the back foot straightaway and at that point and it was about containing them and keep taking wickets. He (Phillips) bowled well under pressure, to come and bowl 10 overs and pick up 3 wickets it was really crucial. Great to see the work he is putting in and it is paying off. The openers got us off to a fantastic start and Rachin played a fantastic knock, one of the better ones you will see chasing. It was a great effort and proud of the guys. It (Dharamsala) is a fantastic place to play cricket. Just want to say all the best All Blacks (New Zealand rugby team) can't wait to watch the final and hopefully they bring the World Cup home," Latham said.

After losing the finals of the 2019 ODI World Cup, James Neesham tweeted by asking the kids not to take up sports as it can prove to be very cruel at times. Against Australia in Dharamshala on October 28, the all-rounder gave his all and hit 58 runs off 39 deliveries but couldn't help his team get over the line. Hence, his old tweet is resurfacing on the internet yet again.

Kids, don’t take up sport. Take up baking or something. Die at 60 really fat and happy.

This is the first time in the history of the ODI World Cup that Mitchell Starc has gone wicketless in a match. He had the streak alive for 23 matches but against New Zealand in Dharamshala, the pacer failed to claim any and with that, lost his wicket-taking streak.

"Back playing (pleased me the most), nice to be back with the boys. nice to contribute, nice to be back. It (hand) is going well, went well today, we are on track which is nice. Very good wicket, Davey and I forged that partnership, we tried to put as much pressure as we can, we were able to get away today, take our chances and then also go on and make a really big partnership to set that platform. 388 is a really good score. I felt, at the back end of my innings, it started to take a little bit more spin. They bowled really well, changed their pace. The boys will come with their plans, hopefully we can execute them really well," Head said.

Travis Head hits his second six off the over. Matt Henry has been very average so far as Australia's intent seems clear. Massive over for the Kangaroos!

Absolute carnage from Australia in Dharamshala. Travis Head joins the party and hits a massive six off the free-hit. AND IT'S NO BALL AGAIN!

David Warner is in the mood. He hits a cracking six over square leg off Matt Henry. Great start for the southpaw.

Six runs off Trent Boult's first over as Australia are 14/0 after two overs.

Australia ar 8/0 after the first over. Over to Travis Head in the next over.

David Warner just flicks to pick up his second boundary of the over. Terrific start!

Henry gives width to Warner and the southpaw punishes it to bring up his first boundary. 

David Warner defends Matt Henry's first delivery of the match. He was looking for a run but it wasn't possible and was denied by Head.

David Warner and the returning Travis Head open for Australia while Matt Henry has been handed the new ball in Dharamshala.

“Looks like a good wicket, might be something in early. Travis Head comes in for Cam Green. They are a team we know really well, but they know us really well too. Excited to get going. Try and set up a big score,” Cummins said.

“We are going to bowl. Early start, reasonable surface, there may be something early with the new ball because of a day game. Jimmy Neesham is in for Mark Chapman who has a calf niggle. Adapting quickly will be key,” Latham mentioned.

New Zealand won the toss and elected to field first.

It's nice and cool. Straight boundary - 79 metres, square - 70 metres and 64 metres respectively. England played here against Bangladesh. If you are a bowler, you are saying can we get more grass, you are not getting that today. There'll be something in the pitch early on, for a little period only. It looks good, it's hard, it's flat, a few cracks here and there. You won't get more spin than normal. In essence, good carry-through to the keeper, batters are gonna cash in after that initial period. Definitely bowl first.

Five-time champions Australia take on New Zealand at Dharamshala. Can Australia keep their winning streak alive or the Black Caps will be too hot to handle?
