Napier: Virender Sehwag got India off to a flier in the opening one-dayer after captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat against New Zealand at McLean Park in Napier on Tuesday.
His partner Sachin Tendulkar, however, was out caught behind to Ian Butler for 20 just as India started to accelerate.
Sehwag began in blazing fashion but rains halted play after 4.3 overs before resumption not before the game was reduced to a 38-over contest.
Ishant Sharma, the Indian fast bowler, was unable to make it for the final eleven owing to a shoulder injury as Praveen Kumar replaced him while ace batsman Sachin Tendulkar was back in action after missing the Twenty20 series, which India lost 0-2.
Munaf Patel was also back in the eleven. Irfan Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma made way for the one-day regulars.
For New Zealand, young speedster Tim Southee was a notable omission while all-rounder Jacob Oram returned to the side.
Teams:
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Praveen Kumar, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel.
New Zealand: Daniel Vettori (captain), Jesse Ryder, Brendon McCullum, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Grant Elliott, Neil Broom, Jacob Oram, Ian Butler, Iain O'Brien, Kyle Mills.
