Australia and New Zealand play the Twenty20 International in Sydney on Sunday also marking the fourth anniversary of the inaugural Twenty20 International which falls on Tuesday. That match was also played between the same teams. New Zealand would be hard done after the 5th ODI was washed off due to rain when they were in a good position and would be looking to come back strongly and go back home with a win in the shorter format. Australia will be without Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke and Mitchell Johnson with Brad Haddin stepping into the captain's shoes as they field a young outfit. Kyle Mills will miss out for the visitors with an Achilles injury.

The New South Welshman thrived following his mid-series elevation to the top of the order, scoring his maiden ODI century in the third game, but also came under fire after game one when he appeared to flick off the bails when Neil Broom was incorrectly given out bowled.

Regardless of that Haddin has the backing of regular skipper Ricky Ponting to fill his shoes, with the Tasmanian to rest up before the team flies out for their tour of South Africa on Monday.

"He brings a lot of experience and he has a lot of leadership qualities," Ponting said. "He thinks about the game."
