New Zealand vs Australia 3rd T20I: New Zealand’s T20I series against Australia has been dealt a blow with the news that opener Devon Conway is ruled out of the final match due to a thumb injury.
Seifert Returns, Duffy Called Up:
Conway, who injured his left thumb while wicket-keeping in the second T20I, will return home to Wellington for specialist assessment. In his place, Tim Seifert, who was initially ruled out with a torn abductor, has passed a fitness test and rejoined the squad.
To bolster the bowling attack, Otago pace-bowler Jacob Duffy has also been called up due to the tight turnaround between matches.

Rachin Ravindra, who missed the second T20I with a left knee injury, remains a doubt for the final match. His availability will be determined in the next 24 hours. An additional batsman is also expected to be added to the squad as a precaution.
