The pitch report is that “No cricket has been played here since the Asia Cup which means there will be plenty of juice in the fresh, greenish track on Tuesday. The boundary ropes have been pulled in at least 10 metres from where there were during the Asia Cup.
The teams are as follows
India : Virender Sehwag, Dinesh Karthik, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni(w/c), Ravindra Jadeja, Praveen Kumar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Pragyan Ojha, Ashish Nehra
New Zealand : Peter Ingram, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor(c), Kane Williamson, Scott Styris, Grant Elliott, Gareth Hopkins(w), Jacob Oram, Kyle Mills, Daryl Tuffey, Andy McKay
Cricinfo.com quotes the two captains as saying
“It is an opportunity for them [Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum] to spend some time with their families. They will come back fresh and strong, it has turned out to be a positive thing for them and for the youngsters as well.”
