New Zealand will bring Tim Seifert in to replace Devon Conway in Sunday’s T20 World Cup final against Australia after the keeper-batsman broke his right hand with a frustrated punch of his bat after his dismissal against England. Conway, who hit a 38-ball 46 in Wednesday’s semi-final win, has been ruled out of both the World Cup title clash and the subsequent tour of India. Tim Seifert is expected to be roped in to compensate for the absence of regular opener Conway. Seifert has not played a match since the Black Caps were beaten by Pakistan in their tournament opener.
