'Not the smartest thing he's done'published at 13:28 Greenwich Mean Time 14 November 2021
We know that New Zealand are going to have to make at least one change for this final after Devon Conway was ruled out with a broken hand.
How did it happen? Well, he punched his bat after getting out against England in the semi-final.
New Zealand coach Gary Stead said: "He's very remorseful with himself and feels as though he has let the team down. We know we'll miss him.
"While it's not the smartest thing he's done there's certainly an element of bad luck in the injury."
It means the Kiwis will also need to change their wicketkeeper, meaning that Tim Seifert is likely to come into the side.

Talking of the toss, that is one of the key things that Carlos Brathwaite thinks will decide this final.
What else? David Warner, the big hitters and who will handle the pressure?
See what Brathwaite had to say.

We've seen a theme in this World Cup, particularly in the early days of the Super 12s stage, where the chasing team would win.
It has since evened out a little bit but 21 of the 32 games since the Super 12s stage started have been won by the chasing team.
Win the toss and bowl first today?
