Daniel Vettori won the toss for the second time in a row and has asked India to bat first in the second and final T20I at Wellington. India has made one change by bringing in all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in the place of Rohit Sharma. It looks like the team wanted to Jadeja to experience the conditions of playing in New Zealand before he returns back home after this T20I. The match is going to be played at the Westpac Stadium which is also quite small like the AMI Stadium in Christchurch but looking slightly bigger in comparison.

New Zealand Team : Jesse Ryder, Brendon McCullum (WK), Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Neil Broom, Jacob Oram, Nathan McCullum, Daniel Vettori (C), Ian Butler, Tim Southee and Iain O’Brien

India Team : Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (C&WK), Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma
