CAIRNS, Australia, Sept 11, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - New Zealand captain Kane

Williamson won the toss and chose to bowl in the third and final one-day
international against Australia on Sunday, which will be the last for
retiring Australian skipper Aaron Finch.

The home side have already claimed the Chappell-Hadlee series after winning
the opener on Tuesday by two wickets before a 113-run thrashing of the Black
Caps two days later.

New Zealand made three changes with Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips and Lockie
Ferguson in for Matt Henry, Martin Guptill and Michael Bracewell.

"I think there's something in it," Williamson said of the wicket. "It's all
about putting in an improved performance today."

The game will be the 146th and last ODI for Finch, who announced his
retirement from the 50-over format on Saturday after a horror run with the
bat.

With the series wrapped up, Australia rested opener David Warner with Josh
Inglis replacing him. All-rounder Marcus Stoinis has a side strain with
Cameron Green returning to take his place.

"I probably would have bowled if I'd won the toss," said Finch.
