New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner is in doubt for the final one-day international against Australia in Hamilton on Monday after complaining of a sore right foot following the second game in Wellington. The 24-year-old Santner was New Zealand's best player in Australia's four-wicket victory, that levelled the three-match series, scoring 45 not out and marshalling his side to 281-9 and then taking 3-47 with his left-arm spin.
Leg spinner Ish Sodhi has been brought into the squad as precautionary cover, should Santner not be fit enough to play at his home ground at Seddon Park. A decision on Santner's fitness would be made just before the match, New Zealand Cricket said in a statement on Sunday.
