NELSON: New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first in the fourth one-day international against the West Indies here Saturday.

"With our experience here domestically I think it will slow up a bit later," McCullum said of the Saxton Field wicket hosting its first ODI.

Both sides have made two changes from Wednesday´s match which New Zealand won by an overwhelming 159 runs.

Pace bowler Tim Southee, who missed the first two ODIs while he underwent toe surgery, returns to the New Zealand side with batsman Kane Williamson in place of Adam Milne and Jimmy Neesham.

The West Indies have brought in Tino Best and Kirk Edwards for Ravi Rampaul, who has a broken thumb, and Kieran Powell.

The series is tied one-all going into the final two matches.

Teams:

New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Jesse Ryder, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum, Corey Anderson, Luke Ronchi, Nathan McCullum, Tim Southee, Kyle Mills, Mitchell McClenaghan.

West Indies: Johnson Charles, Lendl Simmons, Kirk Edwards, Dwayne Bravo, Narsingh Deonarine, Chadwick Walton, Denesh Ramdin, Sunil Narine, Jason Holder, Nikita Miller, Tino Best. (AFP)
