Nohit

[chegu]

Rohit Sharma has faced 1025 deliveries in the first 10 overs of ODIs. Of those, 718 have gone been dots. He hasn't even been hitting many boundaries at the start. Shikhar Dhawan faces 60% dots as compared to Rohit's 70, but he manages the boundaries, which shows in his run-rate of 5.76 in the first 10 overs as opposed to Rohit's 3.67. So on an average, when Rohit bats 10 overs - and he tends to face 35 of the 60 balls - there are close to four overs unscored of. Granted it takes all sorts and Rohit is more than capable of making up for slow starts, but when your bowlers are conceding 300 in every game you put too much pressure on yourself with starts lacking urgency so often. It will be interesting to see if he changes his strategy a little without entirely losing the solid bases.

Pitch and conditions
A beautiful sunny day is forecast in Auckland. The oddly shaped ground will be a challenge to defend, but New Zealand won't mind that the square boundary is longer than the straight one.

Rohit Aswin Ishant are unfit

Suresh Raina took a blow on the left elbow in the nets on the eve of the match, and has a sustained a soft-tissue damage. If he doesn't turn up fine on the afternoon of the match, Ambati Rayudu or Stuart Binny might get a look-in. Ishant Sharma will be under pressure again. Varun Aaron bowled a long spell in the nets so he might be in with a chance.
