NAGPUR: Australia captain Ricky Ponting won the toss and elected to field against New Zealand in a World Cup Group A match overshadowed by the devastating earthquake in Christchurch.
At least 113 people have been killed as a result of tremors in the New Zealand city and the teams wore black armbands and observed a minute's silence before the start of play.
