New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first on a wicket that is expected to be uneven. West Indies will hope for their new ball bowlers to make early inroads using the bit of moisture that is in the wicket.

Here's what the captains had to say:
Denesh Ramdin: It looks a fantastic pitch for batting. He is very exciting. We go for horses for courses. Blackwood misses out and Hodler comes in. Shillingford comes in for Gabriel.
Brendon McCullum: We are going to bat first. Neil Wagner comes in for Ish Sodhi. The pitch is a bit abrasive. Wagner can revere-swing the ball later on, he could be an useful weapon. We have had some guys standing up and performing well.
