Santner ruled out of NZ vs Canada due to 'dodgy burger'

Canada won the toss and elected to bat against New Zealand, who are targeting a Super 8s spot. Stand-in captain Daryl Mitchell confirmed regular skipper Mitchell Santner is ill and ruled out due to a 'dodgy burger.'

New Zealand has made two changes for the T20 World Cup match against Canada. Cole McConchie replaces the ill Mitchell Santner in the lineup.

Lockie Ferguson also returned home for the birth of his first child, with Kyle Jamieson taking his place. A third win would seal New Zealand’s progression to the Super 8s.
