He proclaimed that Kane Williamson changed the course of the innings with his counterattack against Mitchell Starc. Phillips revealed that the pitch was a bit slow in the first innings. Speaking to broadcast after the first innings, Glenn Phillips said:"The wicket is a bit slow. There's some spin on the offer. It is also holding on a bit, but it's played nicely for us. It was about going about each over according to plans. Zampa bowled a few good overs, so it was important for us to see him off. The way Kane took Starc on was unbelievable. It turned the match around for us a little bit there. In finals, you never know, but we just gotta keep our plans simple and do what we do best in the park."As Australia has an explosive batting line-up, it will be an interesting chase to watch for the fans. David Warner's wicket would be crucial for New Zealand in this game.
