Unchanged India bowl, Mills in for NZ
Suresh Raina and Ishant Sharma continued to enjoy the captain's faith as India fielded an unchanged XI in Hamilton. The rain stayed away, making for a hot and humid day with a slow pitch in store, but India continued to prefer chasing after MS Dhoni won the toss.
New Zealand made one change, which they might have made in any case even if not for the injury to Adam Milne. On slower pitches, they have preferred the wily Kyle Mills, who can make use of the variations of pace in the track. Expectedly Mills came in for New Zealand.
New Zealand: 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Jesse Ryder, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Brendon McCullum (capt.), 6 Corey Anderson, 7 Luke Ronchi (wk), 8 Nathan McCullum, 9. Kyle Mills, 10 Tim Southee, 11 Mitchell McClenaghan
India: 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Suresh Raina, 5 MS Dhoni (capt. & wk), 6 Ajinkya Rahane, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Ishant Sharma, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Bhuvneshwar Kumar
